Java SE 6 on Yosemite?

Wow, just had the same issue with 10.11 (El Capitan)

did not solve my issue, which was that photoshop cs 5.1 - after my yosemite install - did not open and instead said i needed to install java se 6.

most links online lead you to java's website and their latest runtime is 8. i downloaded and restarted, PS still did not open. the apple link also just leads to java. i even installed the developer kit of ultra brand new java version. nada. no working.

what solved it was downloading JavaForOSX2014-001.dmg. bingo.

A solution is as follows - description first then terminal commands.

Inside the directory at /System/Library/Java make a directory named JavaVirtualMachines. Inside this directory make a directory called 1.6.0.jdk

Create a symlink inside /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents that points to the newly made /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk

Make a directory inside /System/Library/Java/Support/ named Deploy.bundle

--- terminal commands ---

sudo mkdir /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines

sudo mkdir /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk

sudo ln -s /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents

sudo mkdir /System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle

---

In response to Loner T :

You can't really do this via Finder unless you understand that the plugin is a package. It requires a right mouse-button click to get the contextual menu. From there you can 'Show Package Contents'.

From what I have understood you are trying to delete the existing symlink : /usr/bin/java and re-symlink to the plugin.

Given that the symlink command should have the symlink path as the second argument means the command you are trying to describe would be :

sudo ln -s /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java /usr/bin/java

And I cannot see why that would work.

I know this thread probably is dead, I have asked a similar question in the apple forum, but nobody has answered me.

1. I installed Yosemite 10.10.4, installed java 8 and Adobe CS6 doens't work

2. I managed to remove java 8 and installed the shell of java 6 above and it still doesn't work.

If anyone answers here, should I:

1. remove Yosemite and install Mountainlion again? Or is there a simple solution, I'm not sure if I can manage to do the other thing you describe with the other thing you are describing Lone T. But I would love to be able to give it a go. Is the

/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java happening in Terminal??????? Really would appreciate your professional response.

thanks,
