To open you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Why, when I have 1.7 installed?

PREFACE: I've read most of the posts on here that discuss this issue but none have provided a real answer to this.
I'm on Moutain Lion w/ all the latest updates from the App Store.
I've installed Oracle's latest Java JDK (7u11) because of the recent security issue. When I go to Terminal and type in "java -version", it's the latest version of Oracle's 1.7. I don't have Apple's 1.6 version of Java on my system. I've verified that by checking in the appropriate System folder for the 1.6 JRE & JDK.
So all seems to be fine so far and per Apple's recommendation, I'm using Oracle's latest version of Java.
So when I go to run Charles debugging proxy, which is a Java desktop app, I get the following message in a dialog:
"To open "Charles,” you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to install one now?"
If I have the latest Oracle Java version installed, why am I being prompted to install Apple's 1.6 version?
I've had this prompt in the past and went through the install before. Contrary to what another poster in another thread says, choosing install at the prompt ignores the fact that 1.7 is installed and does in fact install Apple Java 1.6. It's an outdated version of Java which I don't want on my system.
Why do I need to install Apple's 1.6 when Oracle's Java 1.7 latest is already there?

You would need to ask the "Charles" developer that question. There seem to be quite a few issues regarding Java 1.6 and 1.7 with the Oracle version causing the most trouble. This, of course, is not an Apple problem to solve. The Java community and Oracle need to sort out their troubles.
You can, of course, have both versions on your system but you need to do some terminal work to switch between them. Apple has a tech support document that explains how to do that.

    I keep getting a pop up window labled Software Update saying, "To open 'MLBNexDefAutobahn,' you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to install one now?" I click on "Not Now" and it pops open again a second later.  It is not going away! Is this a Java virus? I just installed Maverick Wednesday and got a message yesterday on google that "Google would like to take over this computer"??? Please help.
    Thanks!

    This is not a virus, or any other kind of malware. Some third-party software that you have installed is repeatedly trying to open a Java process called MLBNexDefAutobahn. What that software might be, I don't know. What software do you have that this name might fit with?

  • You need a java SE 6 Runtime

    I have Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro and every time I run "Dreamweave" or "Eclipse" for example, I get this message: "To open "Eclipse" you need a java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to install it now ?".
    I've tried installing it many many times, manualy and from this notification but it doesnt work.
    I've tried installing Java 7 and tried uninstalling Java 7 then installing "Java For OSX 2013-002" and dosent work too !
    everytime I install any Java version I tried this "java -version" I got this result "No Java runtime present, requesting install." !
    anybody can help ?
    Thanks

    Contact the developers of that software for a updated 10.8.3 verison that runs off Java 7.
    They are likely working on it or perhaps something better not relying upon Java at all.
    Java is a real security nightmare lately.

  • After installing Mavericks, I receive a prompt saying "To open Nexdef, you need a Java SE 6 runtime."  I select "Install" but the pop up returns.

    Tonight I upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks.  After the upgrade I get a pop up for a software update.  After selecting "install" it downloads & completes the install.  But then the pop-up returns.  What's up?  Can somebody give a pointer.
    I'm running a Mid-2012 Mac Mini, but that probably doesn't matter for this discussion.

    Java is a third party runtime developed by Oracle, formerly Sun who Oracle purchased.
    Java 6 is near obsolete, Apple used to maintain Java 6 for OS X 10.6 and earlier, but stopped in OS X Lion and further.
    Java 7 is now a user optional download directly from Oracle, however your Nexdef will also have to be updated to use Java 7.
    Java has a very bad history of security issues, in fact Apple's entire Cupertino HQ  was compromised by Flashback malware which targeted flaws in Java.
    Perhaps by then they'll have a version for Mavericks.
    If you don't need Java 7 for anything else, then don't install it. This will keep your machine more secure.
    Perhaps the next Nexdef won't use Java at all, but if it does then it will either install it or demand that it does.
    If you do install it, try to limit it's use in your browsers, turning it on only for sites you trust.

  • To open "Adobe Illustrator CS6," you need a Java SE 6 runtime

    I get message when I try to launch a newlt installed version of Illustrator CS6 under mountain lion. Java is not on that machine but do I def have to install it or is there a way around this? Thanks

    In case this may be useful for anyone running OSX Mavericks (10.9.3) and encountering the "...need Java se6 runtime..." to launch Illustrator CS6 message, I found the below link on an Apple support page tonight:
    Java for OS X 2013-005
    I had already de-installed and re-installed Illustrator CS6, thinking this might solve the problem, but I was still getting the "...need java se6 runtime" message.
    I assumed because the above link appeared to be for OSX Lion or Mountain Lion, that it wouldn't do me any good since I am running a newer OS (Mavericks). However, after downloading the "Java for OS X 2013-005" that's found via the above link I was able to launch Illustrator CS6.
    I've been running OSX Mavericks for a few months and using Illustrator CS6 every day, and had never encountered the "...need Java se6 runtime..." message. What was different for me was, in the last 24 hours, I had the Apple Store re-install OSX Mavericks on my iMac to try to diagnose another issue. The "...need java se6 runtime..." message only started popping up since yesterday's re-install of OSX Mavericks.
    I think I recall reading tonight that re-installing OSX Mavericks may wipe out previously-installed versions of Java, or at least this "Java se6 runtime" - whatever that actually is.

  • To open this calculation leaf you need a newest version of numbers but when I search already is installed

    When I try to open a customer list or leaf a sign appears :
    To open this calculation leaf you need to use a latest version of numbers and it's send it to me to Apple store
    When I go there another sign appears
    It's already install
    What I need to do?
    Thank you very much !!!!

    It sounds to me as though you are attempting to open a Pages 09 document with the Pages 08 application. If you do have Pages 09 on your computer, it may be that for some reason an existing Pages 08 application is invoked accidentally.

  • Cannot open Photoshop: get error: To open "Adobe Photoshop CS5.app," you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to install one now?  However installing Java SE 6 runtime does not fix nor does installing Oracle Java SE 7. Adobe says Apple is problem.

    Searching the internet for solutions to this and some discussion with Adobe.
    Adobe say Photoshop does not use java so it should not be asking for a java runtime.
    The question is how can I stop Photoshop asking to install java since Photoshop does not need or use Java to run?
    Found various links that might be helpful:

    Adobe's Installing Java SE 6

    However as I have Oracle Java SE 7 installed and SE 6  is deprecated and no longer supported for security reasons.
    Apple is actually responsible for Java 6's security. They take Oracle's code and do whatever is needed to make it compatible with Apple's OS. Java 6 is still getting security updates from Apple. Versions 6 and 7 can also exist on the same drive. They won't interfere with each other.
    Also I am assured in no uncertain terms by Chris Cox over at Adobe that Photoshop CS 5 does not use java at all and that the java error message  and so called dependency is just an error on the part of Apple.
    I did find a topic where Chris stated that for CS6, which I know is true. I've installed CS6 (and CC) on a newly formatted drive in Mountain Lion, and neither made any mention of requiring Java. Could have sworn CS5.5 and earlier did you Java for a few functions. Though I likely only assumed that since that version and earlier always causes a prompt to install Java if it isn't already on the drive.
    So is there any way to run Photoshop with SE 7 only installed or even better with no java installed?
    It doesn't really matter much if Java is installed. Java 6 should put an app in the Utilities folder by the name of Java Preferences. Open that, and you can completely disable it by undoing the check boxes.
    Perhaps there is a way to make OS X stop thinking it needs java SE 6 to run Photoshop CS 5.
    Apple would have to make a change to the OS itself. It's a not a user accessible setting.

  • Installing my updated CS4 on a new I Mac: "legacy Java SE 6 runtime" error when i try to open psd

    Bought the original Creative Suite package 1n 2004, installed on my new apple G5.  Upgraded in 2009 to CS4 and sometime installed on a 2nd computer.  I'm sure I registered each product.  I don't have the original disk's, but I have the serial number. I'm trying to install CS on my new I Mac.  It fails authorization in the download.  I went ahead and downloaded the 30 day trail like suggested.  I get the "legacy Java SE 6 runtime" error when i try to open psd.  After my first attempt failed and I read the help lessons on deactivation, I believe I have deactivated from the G5, but I'm still getting the same code when trying to open psd.

  • IPod touch 4 gives message "Cannot Download" "there is not enough available storage to download...You can manage your storage in settings." when trying to update or install one but not all apps. I have more storage than the app takes. Can u help?

    iPod touch 4 gives message "Cannot Download" "there is not enough available storage to download...You can manage your storage in settings." when trying to update or install one of the apps, but not other apps.  I have more space available than needed for the app.  What do I need to do to fix this problem?  Do I need to completely reset this device as new and, if so, how should I do that? 

    You need to delete some item (apps, music, photos etc) from the iPod,.However, sometime files get corrupt. To determine that connect the iPod to your computer and click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes. How much storage is used by the "other" category. If over 1 1/2 GB that indicates corrupted files.
    To get the "other" down to normal value you need to restore your iPod usually restoring from backup works but sometimes restoring to factory settings.new iPod is required./

  • HT204291 Apple mirroring needs a protocol to message EXACTLY why, when mirroring will not appear on an iphone.

    Apple mirroring needs a protocol to message EXACTLY why, when mirroring will not appear on an iphone.  It is sloppy architecture to simply have the mirroring / Apple TV buttons not shown when something is wrong - especially when both iphone and AppleTV are on same WiFi network with solid signal and no interference.  Trying to figure out why (fickle) mirroring will not appear on the iphone should not be a guessing game, as the current architecture has it now.  At least have a message protocol so the iphone can be told what is preventing mirroring so it can report to the iphone user.

    I'm an applications developer and also run a part-time videography business. As such, I require more than 3.12GB of RAM. That is the physical limitation of a 32bit system. Pointless to stay on 32bit if you plan on having more than that much RAM.
    I'm also not about to pay someone to fix my PC when I can do it myself. I was originally hoping for someone who had experienced the problem before to point me in the right direction so I didn't have to spend so much time trying to figure out what the issue was for myself.
    Basically, in the end the problem was caused because right at the point in time when I chose to uninstall, and reinstall; Apple released a new version of iTunes. This version in turn had a requirement of iOS 4.2 to sync with the iPhone. This is a pretty embarrassing for Apple that they would release software reliant on other software before said software was released.
    Had I realised I was downloading a newer version at the initial point of installation, this wouldn't have been an issue. I could've easily have rolled back iTunes to the previous version and gotten on with my life.
    Another issue is that iTunes is not actually a 64 bit application. It masquerades as one to allow installation on the 64 bit platform.

    why do v need 2 generate new smartform from scratch when v have so many standard smartforms can any one explain in detail the scenario where v have 2 do that
    thanks
    bhanu

    Hello Bhanu,
    Standard smartforms are for standard SAP applications.
    Every client will customise standard SAP to suit their own requirements. So if there is a requirement specific to the cleint, they can ask us to develop a custom Smartform.

  • To open "Adobe Photoshop CS6.app," you need a Java runtime. Would you like to install one now?

    Why would I get this now I have been using the program for years?even cs5 pops up that message?.. confused, any ideas?

    Until Lion, Java was always installed by default in OS X. That's why you never noticed before. You can download Java for Lion manually, as Csound1 suggests, or you can go to the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and double click the Java Preferences app. It will tell you Java needs to be installed. Click OK.
