asapreta Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 For the current Version available, jre-7u60-macosx-x64, Java won't install on Yosemite due to version conflict. The installer claims it needs at least 10.7.3 but you have 10.10 and won't let the installation proceed. You need to spoof the system version, editing the following: Go to System->Library->CoreServices inside your OS X hard drive and open the file "SystemVersion.plist" with TextEdit. Change the system version listed under "ProductVersion" to whatever you desire. You might not be able to write to the file because it's system-protected (in Lion, TextEdit will let you unlock system files). To work around this problem, "Save As" this file to the desktop, or some other random place where you can find it. While saving it, make sure you uncheck the option to convert it into a .txt file. Doesn't need to restart. Just install Java and restore the default value.

TIMMAYOSX Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Install this one here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572 Not the latest, but it will work with most Java-based apps without issues. (until an updated jre is updated anyhow). I've always used it without problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorekaj22 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I have the latest update now... what i did: followed the guide above on system version 10.9.3 and then installed the the update 60 afterwards without restarting. This made it finish without errors and then afterwards changed the version to 10.10 again. Now on java 7 update 60 @ OS X 10.10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantomas Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I think changing the check in the package from 10.7.3 to 10.10.0 would be better way to go. it will not do the trick just need to edit "Distribution" file in the package find this line: if(tProductVersion < supportedVersion) and change it to: if(system.compareVersions(tProductVersion, supportedVersion) < 0) Moreover, it seems to be the only thing changed in the last Java 8 Update 20 release so it can be compatible with Yosemite https://www.java.com/en/download/help/mac_10_10.xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
