Jan 7, 2015 6:28 PMby jryberg,I've got a MBPro with Yosemite, and Chrome 39.x (64 bit).
A lady at Google Chrome pointed me to this reddit post, which said download JDK, which is Java Development Kit. I did, and it works for me and apparently lots of others. A little complex, but if I can do it, starting with the reddit post, so can you:

Jan 11, 2015 6:41 PMby cecil h,Using the link below, downloaded, installed, and received the message indicating successful installation; yet, the problem still persists even after reboot/restart. While nice to know there is a "work-around", JAVA Development Kit (JDK), it is shameful that Apple & Oracle can't put their collective heads together to resolve this issue., especially for a version specifically for Max OS X. Suspect it's more business politics than technical... Please do the right thing and fix this. Apple, please provide guidance even if it doesn't involve Oracle.
Problem persists on two MackBook Pro's and one iMac, all Yosemite...

EDIT: Not directed specifically to jryberg - hit wrong "rep[ly". - My bad...

Jan 11, 2015 8:23 PMby cecil h,Regretfully, I probably will sometime in the future. I have not because I just recently stumbled on to the JDK fix. When it aggravates me enough I will probably take the time to install it - unfortunately. I'm resisting because in believe in doing the job right the first time and in some futile way am trying to hold Apple/Oracle's feet to the fire. Hopefully they will do the right thing and correct their error(s), or at least address the issue. It hacks me off when things are done poorly.

Jan 17, 2015 11:15 AMby colinwil,I've just defused this popup which happened every time my wife logged on to our iMac with her account - but not when I did with mine.
I logged with my wife's credentials and examined her login items (System Preferences/Users & Groups/Login Items) - but there was nothing suspicious there. Just the regular 'iTunes Helper' thing.
Next I examined her Launch Agents (From the finder menu select Go, hold down the Alt key until the Library option appears, select library, Launch Agents)
I examined each non-apple plist file there with TextEdit (there were only a couple). The offending item was the Facebook Video Chat demon - with various references to Java in the PList. She doesn't use Facebook video chat - so I simply deleted the plist file.
Voila - no more popups when she logs in.
Other places to check are /Library/LaunchAgents, /Library/LaunchDemons, /System/Library/LaunchAgents & /System/Library/LaunchDemons - but be really careful before deleting anything there. Examine the Plist & make sure you understand what it's launching. And in particular don't delete anything beginning with 'com.apple', or 'org.'

Wow, Colinwil, thanks!!
Deleting that "Facebook Video Chat demon - with various references to Java in the Plist." did the trick!!
Just go to Library (my folder is enabled all the time), Launch agents, and delete that stupid Facebook video chat thing!
Much obliged to ya!
