Cannot install JDK7 update on machine with JDK8 EA installed

[Ben Evans]

Oliver,

Can you post the exact versions and natures of each build?

I can confirm that on Lion, I have multiple 8's - both ORCL & OpenJDK
/ Lambda as well as latest 7.

Thanks,

Ben

Trying to report this as bug through the bug tracker I was directed to a page saying "If you have encountered a bug in a JRE not released by Oracle, please contact the specific vendor about your bug." This is probably not really up to date anymore as well.
