How to solve the java home showing as /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home in MacOS Big Sur?

By -


If we install the Java in MacOs Big Sur after downloading the JDK from Oracle, i am unable to compile the java program using javac.

  Install JDK 8: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/javase-jdk8-downloads.html        Java SE Development Kit 8u281

When i check the java -version , it is showing as below 

java version "1.8.0_311"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_311-b11)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.311-b11, mixed mode)


After that when i check the java home using /usr/libexec/java_home -V 


it is the showing it as /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home



Solution:


Use the below commands to remove the folder

sudo rm -fr /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin 
sudo rm -fr /Library/PreferencePanes/JavaControlPanel.prefpane Then use this to check the java home /usr/libexec/java_home -V 

jayabalan@Saravanakumars-MacBook-Air ~ % /usr/libexec/java_home -V

Matching Java Virtual Machines (1):

    1.8.0_311 (x86_64) "Oracle Corporation" - "Java SE 8" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_311.jdk/Contents/Home

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_311.jdk/Contents/Home

jayabalan@Saravanakumars-MacBook-Air ~ % 


If you see the above path, then java home is set properly and java programs will work
