A call of "java --version" returns

"The operation couldn’t be completed. Unable to locate a Java Runtime.
Please visit http://www.java.com for information on installing Java."

This is on a mac, it seems that they provide a stub of java, but not the full environment.

Is it possible that the test suite takes this response to mean that java is available, even though it is not?

Org's test suite checks whether java and javac executables are available,
and disabled tests otherwise. However, on your system, "java" command
is available, but is not working.

What happens if you type "java --version"?
