Is there a Java 1.7 JRE for 32-bit OS X?

I'm looking for a 1.7 JRE which I can distribute with my Java application on OS X. Oracle only offers a 64-bit version of the JRE for OS X, which means that I cannot support older 32-bit Macs. Is there a 32-bit version somewhere?

Apparently there isn't. At least the only definitive thing I could find was this:

Mac OS X System Requirements

Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.7.3 (Lion) or later.* Administrator privileges for installation 64-bit browser Note that installing Java on a Mac is performed on a system wide basis, for all users, and administrator privileges are required. You cannot install Java on a single-user basis.

A 64-bit browser (Safari, Firefox or Chrome, for example) is required to run Oracle Java on Mac OS X. 32-bit browsers do not support Java 7 and later versions on the Mac platform.

  • Users with Mac OS X versions 10.6 and below should go to Software Update under the Apple menu to look for updates.

And there isn't anything for 32-bit Mac OS X on Oracle JDK8 download page either.

It safe to assume that there is no Java 7 or newer for 32-bit Mac.
