title: How to reinstall Java 6 on Mac OS X Mountain Lion
body: <p>I recently installed Oracle's Java 7 for OS X Mountain Lion (version 10.8.2) on my Mac computer. I was happy with this until I started doing Android development, which is throwing errors at me for using Java 7. Now I want to install Java 6 so I can use it for Android development, but I've looked everywhere for a way to do this and am unable to find any solutions. Is it even possible? What can I do?</p>
  
  <p>I tried downloading <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1421" rel="nofollow">this Java for OS X update</a>, but when I try to install it I just get this message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>A newer version of this package is already installed.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then the installer closes and that's it.</p>
