If i want the JDK for my Mac, where should I look for it?
The JDK is already installed on Mac OS X 10.5. If you go to /Applications/Utilities you will see Java Preferences. There you can select between the versions of Java you would like to use, including version 6 (6 is only 64-bit so if you have a 32-bit Core Duo Macbook you'll have to use SoyLatte).

You need to install the Xcode developer tools. The JDK is included there. Before you do that, though, you can check if it is already installed by using javac -version
. To find out where it is located, you can run the command which javac
, although it will most likely be a symlink to somewhere else.
