Today my Compass/Sass stopped compiling and i was unable to get it working again. So i installed Scout. But Scout wouldn’t run until i installed Java Runtime for Mac. So I downloaded and installed Java Runtime for Mac. But when running Scout I am still prompted as if Java Runtime was never installed. I see the Java Runtime in my System Preferences so I assume it’s working?
I’m running Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite
Anyone know what the problem might be?
I found the solution. You need to run a legacy version of Java for some applications to still work. Here's the download link and info from Apple:
https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?locale=en_US
Java for OS X 2015-001 installs the legacy Java 6 runtime for OS X 10.11 El Capitan, OS X 10.10 Yosemite, OS X 10.9 Mavericks, OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, and OS X 10.7 Lion.
This package is exclusively intended for support of legacy software and installs the same deprecated version of Java 6 included in the 2014-001 and 2013-005 releases.
Quit any Java applications before installing this update.
