title: How to install a specific JDK on Mac OS X?
body: <p>I want to install a specific JDK (the latest for example). For this, I went to the JDK download homepage: <a href="http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp" rel="noreferrer">http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp</a>.
  I looked for a Mac version, but I'm a bit surprised to only see downloadable versions for Linux, Windows and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_%28operating_system%29" rel="noreferrer">Solaris</a>...</p>
  
  <p>Here's the message for Mac:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>"Apple Computer supplies their own version of Java. Use the Software
    Update feature (available on the Apple menu) to check that you have
    the most up-to-date version of Java for your Mac."</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p><em>OK BUT</em>... when I update Java with Mac I have a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_virtual_machine" rel="noreferrer">JRE</a> and not a JDK...</p>
  
  <p>I don't understand why a JDK version doesn't exist that is easily downloadable/installable (like a jar to unzip?) for Mac...</p>
