Java for OS X includes installation improvements, and supersedes all previous versions of Java for Mac OS X. This package installs the same version of Java 6 included in Java for Mac 2013-005. This update uninstalls the Apple-provided Java applet plug-in from all web browsers. To use applets on a web page, click on the region labeled 'Missing plug-in' to go download the latest version of the Java applet plug-in from Oracle. 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.

Keep your software up to date. If you need Java, download the latest version of Java for OS X directly from Oracle. Make sure that you always have the latest Java package installed on your Mac.

To open 'FileMaker Pro Advanced' you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime. The FileMaker website indicates that this is a plugin compatibility issue: Indeed, if I delete plugins from the Extensions folder, FileMaker opens without error, but as soon as a script step installs ScriptMaster or SuperContainer, FileMaker immediately quits with the same error as above. I can follow the instructions in the FileMaker support article to install Java SE 6, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Since the ScriptMaster and SuperContainer changelogs both mention Java 7 support, is the Java SE 6 requirement necessary? Will there be updated plugins that don't require the Java SE 6 runtime?

I have the same problem and Scriptmaster is the only plugin that this is bringing the message up. The real problem I'm having, and have had always with Java 6, is that it brings up a 'exec' icon on my dock that is 'not responding' and means I can't shut down the computer without force quitting it first. Force quitting under normal circumstances just pops it back on the dock straight away. So for all this time I've removed Java 6 but I believe Java 7 isn't compatible with Yosemite and Scriptmaster doesn't seem to like Java 8 (since the message appears even with Java 8 installed). I've tried fixing the issues with Java 6 but can't seem. The only thing that actually worked consistently was removing it. It looks like I may have to go through my database and see what scripts use Scriptmaster and see if I can figure out any work arounds so I don't need it.

Java 6 is that annoying for me, which is a shame.
