Java SE 6 on Yosemite?

I just updated my mac to Yosemite and the following message keeps popping up "To open 'this Java application' you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime." No matter if I click "ok" or "More Info..." (the only two options) it keeps coming up. Is there some way I can find out what app is triggering the message or fix the issue?

Java 8 is the recommended version for Yosemite: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.h tml

Start Application -> Utilities -> Terminal.

HI,

I need to use java 7 to connect to my work servers from home. I deleted the java 8 and reloaded the java 7 which works perfectly with the work computers. Now I get the blasted window every couple of minutes stating:

Any suggestions to get this window to go away FOREVER? I know that you can't keep 2 java's in the system, but this message is driving me crazy. I haven't tried to see if updating to java 8 will rid me of the message, but thought that it should be rather easy to just have it stop popping up!!

Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Tried and clean out the Lauchagents and reviewed the deamons folder also. Still got the pop-up message!! In yet another message group, it was suggested to reload an earlier version of JAVA from the Apple web site and this so far has worked for me. Thanks however for your response.

BTW this is the link that I have recently used with success:Java for OS X 2014-001

It also appears that Apple is aware of the problem and "working" on a fix.

As long as I am able to communicate with my work servers and not get the Pop-Up, LIFE is good 😀
