Installing SAP Gui for Java on Mac. Seriously, installing the SAP Gui for Java is a breeze. I went to the SWDC and downloaded a installer packed as a jar file. Once downloaded I ran the installer and it created a Mac-ified application which integrates with the Mac OS X just perfectly. A while back, I wrote a post on building a SAP GUI installer for macOS, where SAP GUI needed to have Oracle's Java 8 JDK as a pre-requisite. Since then Oracle has made an announcement that the use of Oracle's Java 11 JDK is no longer free if you're using it for production work.
