Hey, so I found the JRE 6 for Mac on Apple’s website here:
https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?locale=en_US
but I don’t see anywhere for the JDK. Anyone know how to get it?

Install brew and run:
brew install java
EDIT: nvm noticed you need an old version. Not sure how you would do it.
The easiest way would be to download the jdk from oracle
k how do u get jdk 6 from oracle
Can’t find the other earlier versions either
Downloads of legacy JREs and JDKs are available from Oracle.
There is no support for macOS or OS X for Java 6 and prior, though. Presumably that’s what led Apple to release their own runtime implementation.
Are you certain there is a JDK 6 for Mac? Perhaps the intention was only ever to enable execution but not development on Mac.
For what it’s worth, there’s was an OpenJDK effort to port JDK 7 to Mac. Also, this Oracle page states that Java 6 for OS X 10.6 and below should be sourced from Apple via Software Update, rather than from Oracle. As far as I can tell, Oracle never supported Mac before Java 7, and I can’t find any trace of a Java 6 JDK for Mac.
https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javaee6sdk-install-jsp.html
For Mac OS X systems, the SDK uses the JDK that is part of the Macintosh operating system. If necessary, obtain the required JDK version from the Mac OS X Updates site.
Based on this quote from above Oracle site Java JDK should be included in OSX.
Is there any particular reason why you want to use Java version 6? It’s really old already and probably not very secure anymore.
Aha, see this Stack Overflow question. It looks like Apple only distributes these files via the (authenticated) Developer site. It’s free to make an account, but I can download one of these for you if you don’t want to make one.
Here are the available Java downloads – presumably the “Developer Package” downloads include the JDK:

Yeah I’m trying to work with 3D software and I have to learn what works for its time and what does not.
It looks like it’s already there. It looks like it bundles with the file; Apple does not say that it does. You can check for yourselves. It is located in the same directory as the JRE.
Macintosh HD > Library > Java > JavaVirtualMachines >
Here you can also find other Java versions too.
