With Oracle’s Java 8, there’s been some confusion as to whether Java 8 runs on Mac OS X 10.7.5. This issue was lent additional urgency in the wake of Oracle’s announcement that they will begin auto-updating Java 7 users to Java 8 starting in January 2015.

The root of the confusion lies in the fact that Oracle has listed two different sets of system requirements on their website for Macs running Java 8 on Mac OS X.

OpenJDK 7 for OS X Lion is based on OpenJDK sources. This solutions aims at delivering for Java enthusiasts and / or developers a working version of the next Java release for their Apple Mac. JDownloader is an open-source download manager written in Java. Thus, it can be run on multiple platforms, such as Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. This tool has an extensive plug-in support that allows you to download files from a variety of different file sharing websites, like Rapidshare, Megaupload, etc.

The first set is available via Oracle’s general Java system requirements page. This page states that Java 8 requires the following:

• Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.8.3+, 10.9+
• Administrator privileges for installation
• 64-bit browser

The second set is available via the Java download page for Mac OS X. The system requirements linked from the download page state that Oracle’s Java requires the following:

• Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.7.3 (Lion) or later.
• Administrator privileges for installation
• 64-bit browser

In short, the question of Java 8 support for 10.7.x depended on which system requirement page was correct. For more details, see below the jump.

Based on my testing, it appears that the current version of Java 8 (Java 8 Update 25) installs on Mac OS X 10.7.5 without issues.

Following installation, I tested on a 10.7.5 Mac against the following sites:
