How do I download latest java for mojave?

I can only speak for the non-activation Photoshop CS3 replacement Adobe offers to CS3 owners when the activation servers were closed. Download Java for OS X 2017-001 worked when installed and allowed me to run CS3 on my mid 2012 Macbook Pro. Maybe it might fail on a different Mac model running Mojave. Who knows?

My answer is a proven suggestion for my Mojave case and a workable option, but it is not meant as a universal guaranteed answer for all Adobe software on all Macs.

Now you know why software companies have a "disclaimer of warranty" in their licenses. They would be in court more than they would be in the programming section.

I do not own Illustrator CS6, so all I can suggest is to try the answer offered by rbs nyc earlier in this thread.

You may not need to actually have Java 6 installed.

I'm not sure that this will work with CS5, but to get Illustrator CS6 to run on my Mojave Mac (and on High Sierra, Sierra and even earlier), it was a matter of creating a couple of directories in the System folder in order to fake Illustrator into thinking the crusty old Java was installed. The only trick to it is that you have to disable System Integrity Protection, make the changes, and then enable SIP.

To disable SIP, you can google "macos disable sip", but see for example https://www.imore.com/how-turn-system-integrity-protection-macos

And to create the two directories you need, see the answer labeled "correct" on https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1706469 or the January 2015 update on https://oliverdowling.com.au/2014/03/28/java-se-8-on-mac-os-x/

Don't forget to re-enable SIP when you're done.

Actually, the “out of date” software worked great before Mojave. Most of it suited my needs for scientific work. New versions of the most useful, which offer little in the way of better performance will cost about $1000. So, Mojave does little but deliver a $1000 bill, along with a lot of spinning beach balls. Obviously, Apple has moved their software A-team to IOS.

All "out-of-date" software works until it doesn't. That's what happens with all software on all platforms.

As I said, Mojave works well. Certainly on the five Macs I installed it on. I'm no glutton for punishment.

Thanks, this (disable SIP, create 2 dirs in /System/Library/Java/..., renable SIP) worked for me! (Illustrator CS6 on Mojave 10.14.2)

Most importantly, no need to install any horrid old (or even new) Java junk!!

The legacy Have is here: Download Java for OS X 2017-001

Just download and install 2017. It just installs fine on Mojave and Photoshop CS3 no longer asks for legacy Java.

Get Java for your Mac - Apple Support

FWIW, I don't believe you can install Java 6 in Mojave but you can try.

You may want to read Photoshop CS5 inactive

Maybe but it doesn't work for Illustrator CS6

One more thing: https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/open-apps-wont-work-mojave-photos hop-3684425/

I have not been able to install Java 6 on Mojave. Apple has made some expensive apps unusable. Not a new situation.

Each new version of OSX performs more poorly than the last.

Actually Mojave works great. It's the out-of-date software that is the problem.

did you find a updated java for mojave ?

I installed java 8, which is working well for macOS Mojave
