Determining the version of Java SDK on the Mac

Question

I have a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard; how can I see what version of the Java SDK is installed on my Mac?

Answer 1

On modern macOS, the correct path is /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines.

You can also avail yourself of the command /usr/libexec/java_home, which will scan that directory for you and return a list.
