@Rudi -- I'll have to bow out at this point. I'm not an expert on the things that can go wrong with a J installation -- there's other people on this list who are. But they'll want to know the following...
After you've got (i.6) to work, enter: JVERSION and post the result. I suppose you've done the obvious thing like checking you really do have write access to the installation folder? Cos jconsole.app thinks you haven't. You'll see its path at the bottom of the result of JVERSION. On my machine it's /Applications/j64-801 What I'd do then is look verrrrry carefully at the "Get Info" window of both /Applications/j64-801 and its parent, /Applications -- and of sample files in those folders. Then cast a beady eye at System Preferences > Security & Privacy (also Parental Controls, Network, Sharing...). Try using TextEdit to save a test file into /Applications . I can do it -- can you? Once having saved it, try editing it. Try it again, using "cat" and "nano" under Unix in the Terminal app. Look at its "Get Info" --especially Sharing & Permissions. Is the "Locked" checkbox checked? Use Terminal to look at the Unix permissions of sample files in /Applications and /Applications/j64-801. Have you got a virus checker or other gatekeeper which might be guarding write access to /Applications ? There's just so many things on the Mac nowadays that can stop J's Package Manager from updating files in a sensitive folder like /Applications. Mavericks is a new o/s, and in my long experience one of the last things o/s developers seem to get right is the Permissions structure and its inheritances.
