I need to test a web application with JRE 6. I am using a Mac with OS X 10.10 and Java 7 for development. How can I install JRE 6 next to Java 7 on this Mac? This previous answer does not yet account for the fact (also mentioned in a comment) that Apple's download link by now points to a.pkg (Java for OS X 2014-001) file.Without further knowledge I hasten to install it, for it may overwrite. Many applications locally and on the internet designed in Java need a runtime environment (or Virtual Machine) Java for use on Windows, Mac and Linux. If you need 'Java' on your computer, download directly Clubic the Java Runtime Environment also called JRE, Java Virtual Machine, Java Virtual Machine or JVM.

Java Runtime Environment for Mac (JRE for Mac) allows you to play online games, chat with people around the world, calculate your mortgage interest, and view images in 3D, just to name a few. It's also integral to the intranet applications and other e-business solutions that are the foundation of corporate computing.
The Java Runtime Environment for macOS (JRE) provides the libraries, the Java Virtual Machine, and other components to run applets and applications written in the Java programming language. In addition, two key deployment technologies are part of the JRE: Java Plug-in, which enables applets to run in popular browsers; and Java Web Start, which deploys standalone applications over a network. Many cross platform applications also require Java to operate properly.
Note: Requires 64-bit web browser. Administrator privileges for installation.
