After upgrading to a newer version of Mac OS X (Yosemite 10.10 and El Capitan 10.11) or macOS (Sierra 10.12 and High Sierra 10.13), you may end up getting an annoying new pop-up message whenever you start your computer. It says, “To use the java command-line tool, you need to install a JDK.” It asks you to click “More Info” and visit the JDK (Java Developer Kit) download website.

The reason you’re receiving this message is due to the removal of Java support in newer versions of OS X for security reasons. Older software such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator requires legacy Java support. Without a compatible Java command-line tool for these software, you’ll get this pop-up every time you turn on your Mac computer.

When you visit the download website to update Java, you find that the issue isn’t resolved! You’re still getting the same pop-up. This isn’t a complicated issue to fix, but it is an indirect one. The problem is that you’re not being routed to the correct download website when you click “More Info.”

Oct 17, 2015  How to Install Java in OS X El Capitan. Guys, Spare time for s new boy. Had an update msg to update 8 91 to 8 101 on the iMac and it D/L’s the file.

Apple could have remedied this issue by programming the “More Info” button to direct you to the right fix. Here are the steps you can take to finally rid yourself of this pop-up:

Fix Java Command-Line Tool Pop-Up on Mac OS X

• Download Java for OS X 2017-001 aka Apple’s version of Legacy Java Command-line tool.
• Mount the .dmg disk image file and install Java 6 runtime for OS X.
• Restart your Mac and enjoy the absence of this Java command-line tool error pop-up!

OS X Mavericks installation on my Macbook Pro Ratina went smooth. So far I loved using it. But recently noticed some issue with Java and Eclipse.

When I clicked on Eclipse Shortcut, it shows message: No Java runtime present, requesting install.

On my friend's linux firefox browser, they look great. Chrome for mac 10.8 5 download.

Another must read:Where is Java installed on my Mac OS/X system?

Then I manually installed the jdk (1.7.45) on my mac, it seems that the installation works fine. When the installation done, I open the terminal and type “java -version” as well, it also shows the same error: No Java runtime present, requesting install.

This is in part due to Oracle’s missing definitions of the JRE7 VM capabilities. In case you don’t want to install JRE6 at all and simply use JRE7 without symlinking it to the JRE6 either you can do the following:

Step-1

Native instruments absinthe 5 keygen for mac. Go to below location

Step-2

Open Info.plist and Search for below lines

Step-3

Replace those with below lines

Hope it helps. There is one related Eclipse bug which I found.
