MacOS – Unable to install ‘Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 7 (with JDK 7u45)’

javamacos

I have downloaded an java j2ee and jdk installer from Oracle

enter image description here

When I run it I got this error message:

$ ./java_ee_sdk-7-jdk7-macosx-x64-ml.sh
Extracting the installer archive...
Extracing bundled JDK...

Could not locate a suitable Java runtime.
Please ensure that you have Java 7 or newer installed on your system
and accessible in your PATH or by setting JAVA_HOME

At the moment I have only got java 6 in my MBP (running OSX 10.9.4).

I would have expected the installer is smart enough to run from the unpacked bundled JDK.

Is there any workaround?

The Enterprise Edition of the JDK does not contain the JRE -- you have to install that stand alone first and only then install the JDK as detailed here :
