At first: If you did not install "Java for Mac OS X 10.7 Update 1" , you are fine. If you did install it already, this manual shows you how to start KNIME with Java 1.6.0_26.

  1. In your (hopefully existing) backup of your system there is a folder "/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk". This folder contains the necessary jdk. Copy it to anywhere  on your hard disk (e.g. into the KNIME installation directory).
  2. Download the attached knime.sh script and extract it into your KNIME installation directory (e.g. /Applications/knime).
  3. Create a soft link named "jre" in your KNIME installation directory linking to the subdirectory "Contents/Home" of your copied JDK by invoking
    ln -s <1.6.0.jdk-DIR>/Contents/Home jre
    in the Terminal and launch KNIME by invoking
    ./knime.sh
