Robert Terzi commented on JBDS-4420:
------------------------------------

According to https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/mac_jre.html

Installing a JRE from Oracle will not update java -version symlinks or add java to your path. To be able to do this, you need to install the JDK.

>            Reporter: Robert Terzi
>
> Running the DevSuite 1.4 online installer on Mac OS, there are several problems with the instructions to install Java:
> # There is a link that is shown to "download from +this location+.  The link doesn't work and it is impossible to find out where +this location+ is supposed to point to.
> # The instructions say that Java 1.8 is required, but they appear under an unchecked OpenJDK 1.8 box.   It doesn't make it clear, why you can't just click the OpenJDK box.
> # The instructions don't indicate if you need a JDK or JRE. 
> # It looks like it is trying to get you to download and install Oracle Java 1.8 but doesn't ever say that.
