Direct links for downloading Mac OS X versions (*.dmg)

Oracle downloads rely on a cookie being set after agreeing to the license.

You'll need to start off here:

JRE: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7...

JDK: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7...

Worked just fine clicking the link to the DMG.

You may have an existing license-acceptance cookie depending on what else you might have done. Clear any oracle cookies and try again. You'll run into a fail page.

(I've worked on scripting JDK installs so have had to go around this by coding the cookie into curl and wget calls)
