Fixing Java version in OSX

Atelier needs Java 1.8 to run, but manage diferent versions of Java can be tricky in OSX

This command clear some problems:​
$ /usr/libexec/java_home -V
Matching Java Virtual Machines (3):
  1.8.0_60, x86_64:    "Java SE 8"    /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home
  1.6.0_65-b14-466.1, x86_64:    "Java SE 6"    /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
  1.6.0_65-b14-466.1, i386:    "Java SE 6"    /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home​

Oracle's installer puts java inside the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin. And it doesn't overwrite /usr/bin/java. So, if you issue a

$ whereis java
in the terminal, it'll return /usr/bin/java. (which in turn points to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Commands/java, which is Apple's 1.6 version).

So, if you want to use the new java version, replace the /usr/bin/java symlink so that it points to /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java instead:

$ sudo rm /usr/bin/java
$ sudo ln -s /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java /usr/bin
