I downloaded last code colloborator client(Download Mac OS X Installers v8.4.8403) from smartbear website. when i tried to install it on my system(Mac OS X 10.9), it throwed an error stating "To open Collaborator client installer you need a java se 6 runtime. would you like to install?" The site clearly stated "Requires: Oracle Java 1.7"
i have java 7_51 installed on my system.
It is like this in OS X since Apple stopped the support of Java by themselves. Now you can only download Java 7 or 8 from Oracle's website.
You have two options:
1) Simple click install when the program asks for it. The app check for Java 6 install, but it will start with your Java 7 (or what you defined in JAVA_HOME env variable).
2) Your second option is to start the app from terminal /.../java7/bin.
