Unpacking JDK on MacOS

Steps

  1. Download the installer .dmg files. They contain the good stuff.
  2. Mount the .dmg and copy the .pkg file to somewhere
  3. Open a terminal and cd to the folder you copied the .pkg file into pkgutil --expand JDK\ 7\ Update\ 60.pkg JDK7u60 - extract pkg file to folder
  4. cd JDK7u60/ - move to the extracted pkg
  5. cd jdk17060.pkg/ - there's a folder with the version number ending with .pkg (but it's just a folder), go there
  6. Unpack Payload using Archive Utility (use "Open with" in finder), it's located at /System/Library/CoreServices/Applications
  7. Copy the jdk to where you want it and set JAVA_HOME
  8. Done!
