Java not working after upgrade to El Capitan


my java isn't working anymore, since upgrading to MacOS X El Capitan.

If i type "java -version" in the Terminal i will receive a popup telling me, that i have to install java from the Website.

After downloading and installing the jre8_60 the problem still persists.

Anyone have a clue to solve this problem?


Solution

  • So according to: https://oliverdowling.com.au/2015/10/09/oracles-jre-8-on-mac-os-x-el-capitan/ the .dmg for mac is not working.

    But with the guide on this site it is possible to install the JRE8_60 with the .tar.gz version of the java download.
