Looking for Java binary for Mac OS X

I'm trying to build zimbra from source on a mac mini running on mac os x 10.4.10.

It seems that I need a file like this "jdk-1_5_0_16-linux-i586.bin" but I can't seem to find a jdk binary that is made for mac osx.

Can anybody point me to this binary?

Here is what zimbra does with the binary:

sh jdk-1_5_0_15-linux-amd64.bin 

tar czf jdk1.5.0_15.tgz jdk1.5.0_15 

mv jdk1.5.0_15.tgz /opt/build.zimbra/source/FRANKLIN/ThirdPartyBuilds/x86_64/java/

If I cannot download this, Is there a way to create the tgz from an installation of java?

Solution

  • After a lot of searching I was able to find that the JDK is stored in "/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions" just tarred this and I got what I needed! Thanks for the help. this is for 10.4, I don't know with previous or the most current version.
