You might also be able to find some of these settings in the Mac OS X Control Panel, but I looked just now, and did not see them (though you can see Java's "temporary internet files" from that console). If you have XCode installed you can now find the JAVA_HOME directory with this command: I have no way of verifying this any more, but on Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6, and 10.7, I'm pretty sure this is where the JDK JAVA_HOME was located: Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/ugin/Contents/Home/bin/java -version Older Mac OS X systems This is confirmed by this Oracle Java/JRE documentation page, which shows that you can demonstrate this by running this command in the Mac Terminal: Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ugin/Contents/Home If you've installed the Oracle JRE (as opposed to the JDK), JAVA_HOME for it appears to be located here instead: Of course that will vary by the JDK version you have installed.
