The location has changed from Java 6  provided by Apple  to Java 7 and onwards  provided by Oracle   The best generic way to find this out is to run   usr libexec java home   This is the natively supported way to find out both the path to the default Java installation as well as all alternative ones present    If you check out its help text  java home -h   you ll see that you can use this command to reliably start a Java program on OS X  java home --exec       with the ability to explicitly specify the desired Java version and architecture  or even request the user to install it if missing   A more pedestrian approach  but one which will help you trace specifically which Java installation the command java resolves into  goes like this    run  which java  if that gives you something like  usr bin java  which is a symbolic link to the real location  run  ls -l  which java    On my system  this outputs   usr bin java - gt   Library Java JavaVirtualMachines jdk1 7 0 25 jdk Contents Home bin java   and therefrom you can read the Java home directory  if usr bin java points to another symbolic link  recursively apply the same approach with  ls -l  lt whatever the  usr bin java symlink points to gt       An important variation is the setup you get if you start by installing Apple s Java and later install Oracle s  In that case Step 2 above will give you   usr bin java - gt   System Library Frameworks JavaVM framework Commands java   and that particular java binary is a stub which will resolve the actual java command to call by consulting the JAVA HOME environment variable and  if it s not set or doesn t point to a Java home directory  will fall back to calling java home  It is important to have this in mind when debugging your setup
