Install on a Linux Machine
Find an available Linux machine on your network and install Weblogic on it. Yes, it really helps to have a Red Hat box lying around for this step as you can’t run the binary installer on your OS X machine.
Copy Installation to Local Machine
Using whatever means you have at your disposal copy the Weblogic installation directory from the Linux server to your OS X machine. You can put it anywhere you want on your OS X machine. I put mine at /usr/local/bea.
Remove Installed JVMs
cd $BEA_HOME
rm -fr jdk150_03
rm -fr jrockit90_150_03
Create Symbolic Link for Apple JVM
cd $BEA_HOME
ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home jdk150_02
Edit Config Files
Edit the following two configuration files and replace all references to the installed JVM to the Apple JVM.
bea/registry.xml
bea/weblogic90/common/bin/commEnv.sh
Carry On With Business as Usual
That’s it. From here on out you can treat this installation as any other UNIX-based Weblogic installation.
