I'm having a problem of installing java SE runtime 6 on mac, without that, I can't open my eclipse or install Intellij. However, I download the .dmg through an Apple - Java link, but it just doesn't install!
And there's no error message, just the page of falling installation.
I really don't know how to solve it.
This is kind of an update of my problem... I used to have Java SE runtime 6 and tried to install jdk 1.8 and failed. Same picture appeared. Just said failed installing with no error messages. I guessed might be a conflicts? and deleted Java 6 and basically can't run eclipse & Intellij (this solved thought) I still have java 1.7 here.
I just can't figure out why I can't install (or reinstall) java 1.6 or java 1.8. What could be the problem?
Some system updates:if I do: 'which java':

if 'echo $JAVA_HOME':
if java -version:

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13)Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)
What could be possibly wrong?!!!????God

You need to get Java directly from Oracle (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html) as Apple stopped supporting Java some time ago. Unless you have pressing reasons for using Java 6 I suggest also installing at least Java 7, although you can have all three versions installed and select the appropriate version for the app you want to run/develop.
Edit Also, if you want to use Eclipse or IntelliJ (go for IntelliJ) you want to get the JDK and not the 'runtime' (JRE).
