Is Adobe CS5.5 working fine with Yosemite ?

Question

Hi, I've read some and other things in different forums so I don't know what to think. I'd like to know if anyone here updated from Mavericks to Yosemite and is using Adobe CS5.5 (Photoshop - I know about the Java thing - Illustrator, Indesign, Acrobat, Dreamweaver…). How does it go ? Thanks a lot.

***SOLVED***
In case you don't want to install JRE6 at all and simply use JRE8 without symlinking it to the JRE6 either you can do the following:
Copy the Info.plist located at the path named below to e.g. ~/Desktop/:
     /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk.1.8.<…>/Contents/
and then replace
     <key>JVMCapabilities</key>
     <array>
     <string>CommandLine</string>
     </array>
with the following:
     <key>JVMCapabilities</key>
     <array>
     <string>JNI</string>
     <string>BundledApp</string>
     <string>WebStart</string>
     <string>Applets</string>
     <string>CommandLine</string>
     </array>
Afterwards copy the file back to its original location (you need administrator rights). For this change to take effect you need to restart your computer. The dialog for Java 6 should shouldn't appear anymore and Photoshop should launch just fine using JRE8.
On a related note it appears that this plist change sticks even after updates done through the Java Preference Panel in the System Preferences.
