Why does the following window message appear after upgrading to el capitain on my imac?
To use the "java" command-line tool you need to install a JDK.
Click "More info..." to visit the Java Developer Kit download website.
Thank you,

Hi,
I had this problem as well. I couldn't find a JDK to download here but only JRE, which didn't solve anything no matter how many times I'd install and reinstall it, and even if it was the "latest version" of Java.
Try downloading the actual JDK from Oracle's website as well: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.h tml
Select the "Mac OS X" JDK in the first list (the second list is for demos). It worked perfectly for me. It's simple and fast.
Hope it helped,
S.T
Hi Jekdahl. I also wasn't and haven't used Facebook video chat on my Mac for a few years at least! Started getting these pop ups when I updated to Yosemite. However the file that taeaclark mentions was right where he/she said it would be. I followed the steps and it has so far not popped back up 🙂 fingers crossed!
Here the solution:
1) Right-click Finder
2) Select 'Go To Folder'
3) Type in the search window " ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ "
4) If available, right-click the file " com.facebook.videochat.USERNAME.plist "
5) Select " Move to Trash "
6) Empty Trash
7) Restart Mac. Message should no longer be popping up.
Others solutions on this page, but the one above is the best, for me.
The upgrade removes the Java runtime distributed by Apple. If you need to reinstall it, download the installer from the Apple Support site.
Thank you.
Did that. Installed Java 8 Update 60, but message keeps popping up.
I downloaded it onto my Mac but the program I want to run is still giving me the same message... Ugh
Yep....me too. Keeps popping up periodically.
I've had this problem in Yosemite and El Capitan so it's not a recent issue. I suspect some other program I have installed is trying to do something in the background but I've had no luck isolating it.
Oracle says it's Google Chrome's fault - http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/chrome.xml and recommends using another browser.
Well, Google Chrome may be generating this, but there must be other applications that generate this error, since i am not using Chrome and see this message popping up now and then.
I am sure that on my system it is some background process that tries to do an action now and then and when it does, i get the message.
Does anyone out there knows how i can find out what application or plugin is triggering this?
In the meantime i have found the offending application by looking in the system.log. It was com.facebook.videochat and i solved the issue by following the procedure as described by Zeusal is following thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6602999?answerId=27453325022#27453325022
I keep getting a message: To use the "java" command-line tool you need to install a JDK. I've tried 10 times to install to no avail. Please help.
