Java Runtime Environment for Mac (JRE for Mac) allows you to play online games, chat with people around the world, calculate your mortgage interest, and view images in 3D, just to name a few. It's also integral to the intranet applications and other e-business solutions that are the foundation of corporate computing.

The Java Runtime Environment for macOS (JRE) provides the libraries, the Java Virtual Machine, and other components to run applets and applications written in the Java programming language. In addition, two key deployment technologies are part of the JRE: Java Plug-in, which enables applets to run in popular browsers; and Java Web Start, which deploys standalone applications over a network. Many cross platform applications also require Java to operate properly.

Note: Requires 64-bit web browser. Administrator privileges for installation.

What's new in this version:

IANA TZ Data 2024a:
JDK 8u411 contains IANA time zone data 2024a which contains the following changes:
- Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland changes time zones on 2024-03-31
- Vostok, Antarctica changed time zones on 2023-12-18
- Casey, Antarctica changed time zones five times since 2020
- Code and data fixes for Palestine timestamps starting in 2072
- A new data file zonenow.tab for timestamps starting now
- Kazakhstan unifies on UTC+5 beginning 2024-03-01
- Palestine springs forward a week later after Ramadan
- zic no longer pretends to support indefinite-past DST
- localtime no longer mishandles Ciudad Juárez in 2422

New Features:
security-libs/javax.crypto:
- Update XML Security for Java to 3.0.3
- The XML Signature implementation has been updated to Santuario 3.0.3. Support for four new SHA-3 based RSA-MGF1 signature methods have been added: SHA3_224_RSA_MGF1, SHA3_256_RSA_MGF1, SHA3_384_RSA_MGF1, and SHA3_512_RSA_MGF1. While these new algorithm URIs are not defined in javax.xml.crypto.dsig.SignatureMethod in the JDK update releases, they may be represented as string literals in order to be functionally equivalent. SHA-3 hash algorithm support was delivered to JDK 9 via JEP 287. Releases earlier than that may use third party security providers.
- Additionally, support for the following EdDSA signatures has been added: ED25519 and ED448. While these new algorithm URIs are not defined in javax.xml.crypto.dsig.SignatureMethod in the JDK Update releases, they may be represented as string literals in order to be functionally equivalent. The JDK supports EdDSA since JDK 15. Releases earlier than that may use 3rd party security providers. One other difference is that the JDK still supports the here() function by default. However, we recommend avoiding the use of the here() function in new signatures and replacing existing signatures that use the here() function. Future versions of the JDK will likely disable, and eventually remove, support for this function, as it cannot be supported using the standard Java XPath API. Users can now disable the here() function by setting the security property jdk.xml.dsig.hereFunctionSupported to "false".
