Well bear in mind (if this helps the confidence factor) that
"installing" Java is really just putting files on your machine and
then you basically set a default for the machine (JAVA_HOME
environment variable on Linux and Windows, and I think Mac does this
via symlinks from some Default directory to the version of Java you
want to use IIRC). On Linux I just throw every new Java update under
/opt/java and change JAVA_HOME, and I can still point specific apps to
specific JVMs if necessary.

So don't worry that you're going to screw something up by grabbing
another version of Java, particularly if you're only pointing
jetty/gae to it. Java's just files on disk.

Can you not just repoint the Mac "default" symlink directory or
however they do that back to the previous version of Java?
