Minimum requirements to run
...
Note that only Mac OS X 10.7.3 and higher will be an Oracle-supported platform. It should continue to run on 10.6.8 + Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 6 but that is not guaranteed. As of 1-Jan-2012 there are no plans to introduce 10.7-only APIs into the codebase.
...
- Hardware: Any 64-bit capable Intel Mac
- RAM: 4GB
- Mac OS X 10.7.3
- Xcode: 4.1 or later from the Mac App Store (free download)
- Mercurial: http://mercurial.berkwood.com/
JTReg is not required to build but useful for running regression tests

If you install Xcode after installing the Apple provided Java for Mac OS X, you will have to re-install the same Java for Mac OS X or a later developer preview to correct headers in the JavaRuntimeSupport framework. This issue is expected to be resolved in a future release of Xcode. As of Xcode version 4.3 you have to manually install the Command Line Tools. This package is no more included by default. (Start command line compilers and tools. Start Xcode, open preferencesPreferences, open choose the Downloads tab Downloads , and there install the missing component.)then install "Command Line Tools". |
