Why does Java Runtime Environment message appear when I boot into Yosemite?

User uploaded file

Whenever I boot the newly installed Yosemite on my iMac, I get this Java message. What can I do about it? I have downloaded and installed the JRE 8 Java as requested, but that does not stop the message from appearing. Thanks for your help.

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), Late 2009, 16GB

Just installed Yosemite today and have this same problem.

At first I had Java 7, then I updated to Java 8, and then I uninstalled Java. Same ****, I still get this message every time I start up.

What is "this web content" ?? Java should not be necessary in any way to run Yosemite and standard Apple applications.

(sorry, this was not an answer, mtroum - just my frustrations on the same issue)

I am having this problem on both my 09 and 13 imac. Both upgraded from current OS and both very stable machines.


In response to Barney it has nothing to do with any app being open. We get the message at boot and periodically while the machine is on. It is NOT a Safari or website issue. Could we all have a common startup app we are unaware of that does not recognize Java 8?
