How do I find my JDK path on Mac?

In macOS, the JDK installation path is /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-10. jdk/Contents/Home . The root directory of the JDK software installation.


I currently have Java 7 on my machine, but would like to downgrade as some unit tests in my current project fails with newer versions of Java.

Note that I am running OS X 10.9.1, and the Java installation practices have changed since previous versions of the OS.

Since Apple has changed the distribution around the time of 1.6, it's not obvious to me how I get the old version. Oracle does not supply Mac packages of 1.6 :(

Clues?
