After recent Yosemite update, I am seeing lot of queries relating to Jump Start Kit installation on Mac. So thought of writing this post with steps not only to installation and but configuring JSK for a successful setup.
Environment -
Environment -
- OS - MAC OS X Yosemite(10.10.3)
- JDK - 1.7.0_67(1.8 is not supported and it might not work; I have included steps to run JSK on JDK 1.7 even if JAVA_HOME is set to 1.8 at system level)
- JSK - 11.1.1.8.0

| Click "Next" |
 |
| Click "Next" |
 |
| Click "Next" |
 |
| Click Next |
 |
| Choose installation directory and click "Next" |
 |
| Click "Yes" twice on the above screen |
 |
| Click "Next" |
 |
| Click "Done" |
- Go to JSK installation directory(Default directory is(/Users/<UserNAME>/Library/Oracle/JSK/11.1.1.8.0.app) and open the app. If working ignore below steps.
- Right click on the app and Select show package contents.
- Open terminal and execute run.sh available in the above location.
- If you see any warnings like "JAVA JRE detected.Switch to JAVA JDK". Then open the run.sh in an editor and add the following lines.
- DISPLAY=":0"
- JAVA_HOME="/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_67.jdk/Contents/Home"
- Note- JAVA_HOME path should be pointing to a JDK 1.7 directory.
- In the last few lines of run.sh, you will find,
# start the JSK
if [ $# -eq 2 ];
then
# case of passing arguments <path>:<config to load>:<port>
$JAVA_BIN -Xms128m -Xmx512m -Djava.io.tmpdir=$TEMP -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Dhome=$HOME -Ddisplay=$DISPLAY $1 -classpath JSK_Data/log4j-1.2.16.jar:JumpStartKit-11.1.1.8.0.jar oracle.fatwire.sites.jsk.Execute
else
# case where no arguments where passed
$JAVA_BIN -Xms128m -Xmx512m -Djava.io.tmpdir=$TEMP -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Dhome=$HOME -Ddisplay=$DISPLAY -classpath JSK_Data/log4j-1.2.16.jar:JumpStartKit-11.1.1.8.0.jar oracle.fatwire.sites.jsk.Execute
fi
- Modify it as below(ensure tools.jar is present in the location),
# start the JSK
if [ $# -eq 2 ];
then
# case of passing arguments <path>:<config to load>:<port>
$JAVA_BIN -Xms128m -Xmx512m -Djava.io.tmpdir=$TEMP -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Dhome=$HOME -Ddisplay=$DISPLAY $1 -classpath $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar:JSK_Data/log4j-1.2.16.jar:JumpStartKit-11.1.1.8.0.jar oracle.fatwire.sites.jsk.Execute
else
# case where no arguments where passed
$JAVA_BIN -Xms128m -Xmx512m -Djava.io.tmpdir=$TEMP -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Dhome=$HOME -Ddisplay=$DISPLAY -classpath $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar:JSK_Data/log4j-1.2.16.jar:JumpStartKit-11.1.1.8.0.jar oracle.fatwire.sites.jsk.Execute
fi
- Save and execute run.sh. Your JSK should be working now.
- Sometimes JSK fails due to multicast mac port issue, if you find errors relating to port allocation issues in catalina.out or log. Add the below entry in catalina.sh
- JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"
Now its time to code using your JSK!!! Happy Coding...
