How to install java jdk 7 on Snow Leopard

Question

My Mac currently is running Snow Leopard (10.6.8), and I would like to develop with Java 7. I downloaded the Java 7 OS X installer from Oracle\'s website, started to run it.

Answer 1

There are two ways to do this.

1. Download Pacifist from charlessoft.com and open the JDK PKG in it (and extract the application.)
2. Open the PKG in PackageMaker (a tool for developers) and remove the requirement of 10.7.3.

Good luck!
