After El Capitan install Java Command Line tool prompt won't go away

I disagree. It's the OS for not identifying the application causing the message. OS designers should assume that apps won't identify themselves, so it should do it. Even if it's as cryptic as a process id. There are 100s of processes running.

your link is not to an Apple version of Java. Its oracle again. same dumb problem.

That's odd. I just clicked on it and it takes me to Apple's website with a blue download button for Apple's version of Java (the button displays (and works) in Safari but not in Firefox or Opera). For those who need/want it, that webpage also includes but does not feature a link to Oracle's version in the next to last explanatory paragraph and makes clear it's Oracle's version.

Installing Apple's version of Java may help. It's worked for variety of such pop-ups.

Glad to help, and welcome to El Capitan.😉

i installed both the one in the more info pop up and the one in your link would be a problem to have both?

No. The one from Apple is depreciated.

Did it work? cause the more info one does not.

Worked for me! Thanks!

Hi I tried downloading the recommended one on upgrade to El Capitan and it kept saying I needed a JVD or somethings so I downloaded the link you put up - what does depreciated mean please?

The fix above is working for me so far as well. Thanks!

In this case, it means it's been replaced by the newer version of Java from Oracle and removes the Apple version of the Java applet plug-in from webbrowsers (which is a good thing for security purposes), but there is something in the installation process which satisfies what Photoshop and other software is putting up that pop-up window asking for.

I've been getting this message too, and followed the More Info link. I installed that update which didn't help with that popup. I just installed the Apple Java version in the link above. Let's hope that works. However, I had already installed that version of Java in Yosemite (come to think of it, wasn't Mavericks the first one to deprecate Java 6 support?). Why do I have to reinstall something I had previously installed? Maybe the same reason I have to reactivate iCloud and change my desktop background back everytime I upgrade OS X!! How infuriating!

I have had to do this on previous OS upgrades and I am curious as to why Apple does not solve this. Many users are not comfortable with doing these kind of tasks.
