This package is exclusively intended for support of legacy software and installs the same deprecated version of Java 6 included in the 2015-001, 2014-001, and 2013-005 releases. Java for macOS 2017-001 installs the legacy Java 6 runtime for macOS 10.13 High Sierra, macOS 10.12 Sierra, macOS 10.11 El Capitan, macOS 10.10 Yosemite, macOS 10.9 Mavericks, macOS 10.8 Mountain Lion, and macOS 10.7 Lion. The problem with using Apple’s Java, however, is that is a very old version of Java (currently Oracle’s Java. According to Java for OS X 2015-001, Apple is still providing Java 6 for OS X, up to and including OS X 10.11. Since the release of OS X 10.7, Apple no longer provided Java by default, but allowed Java 6 to be installed and updated. New links below) You need to install 'Java for OS X 2015-001' from here. (Edit 8/4/15 - Looks like Apple posted an update for 2015. A newer version of this package is already installed. When I try installing that same java fix I get the following Error: Java for OS X can't be installed on this disk. If I do, I'll post it here.Įdited by pfslow, 17 October 2020 - 12:39 PM.I had the same problem when I installed Yosemite but I was able to install the legacy java fix (Java for OS X 2014-001) from Apple's website. All one needs to do is disable the notification and I haven't found the solution yet. I'm trying to find a solution short of deleting every old app on my Mac that can possibly be looking for the J.6rt. Apple's legacy use of J.6 is under the license granted by SUN and predates the sale of Java to Oracle. Installing the J.8rt from Oracle has no effect on this at all as it's 64 bit only (more below). Yes, the pop-up is requiring the Java 6 Run Time but, being 32 bit, that cannot be installed over Catalina - even to make that annoying message go away.

Unfortunately, that is not correct for OS 10.15 (Catalina) and newer. Install the 2017-001 package from Apple and you're good. Every major OS upgrade through Mojave requires that it be installed again.

One or more apps is requiring a Java 6 Run Time (not the SDK) which is why you're seeing this pop-up. You get the same instructions from the Java website: Restart your Mac and enjoy the absence of this Java command-line tool error pop-up!.dmg disk image file and install Java 6 runtime for OS X.
