Installation problems on OS X 10.8.2

Troubleshooting SDK
1

Hey Monkeys. I’m having problems installing JME on OS X 10.8.2. After I start the installer it outputs:

Searching for JVM on the system... Java SE Development Kit (JDK) was not found on this computer JDK 6 is required for installing jMonkeyEngine SDK. Make sure that the JDK is properly installed and run installer again. You can specify valid JDK location using --javahome installer argument.
.

So this time I execute

/Users/username/Downloads/jMonkeyEngine\ SDK\ Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/executable --javahome /Library/Java/Home
and the output is

xecutable: line 468: Support/NetBeans: No such file or directory Configuring the installer... Searching for JVM on the system... Java Runtime Environment (JRE) was not found at the specified location /Library/Java/Home

So I did

java -version

which gives me
java version “1.6.0_37”
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_37-b06-434-11M3909)
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.12-b01-434, mixed mode)

meaning both JRE and JDK are installed, just the installer can’t locate them.

You don’t specify what problems you have so I will just assume that you can’t press any buttons in the installer. Just execute the bundle.jar in the Resources/Java folder of the app package directly (richt-click → open with…)

Actually, the installer didn’t appear at all. It does if I open the package and run the bundle.jar. I somehow thought /MacOS/executable is the installer. I feel stupid now :frowning:

Well the only stupid thing is the executable script which only finds apples java :wink:
