BTW, to easily use multiple JDK versions I use the script described atĪlex, (and I know it’s been a long time since you posted) things have really changed in the Java world for creating desktop (and even mobile) apps. Once I had done all that I had all three versions running in Yosemite. The fix for that was to rename or delete the directory /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_20.jdk before running the JDK8u25 installer package.

When I tried to install the latest JDK8, which at the time of this writing is JDK8u25, I found that Oracle has fixed the version check bug that is in the JDK7 package, but the install ran without error messages updating the JRE without actually updating the JDK from 8u20 to 8u25. To get JDK 7 re-installed I had to edit the package’s script because it has a check that you are running a recent enough version of the OS which gets confused by Yosemite’s version number of 10.10. Re-installing JRE6 as in the first step here fixed up Java 6 and left JDK6 in place ok. I upgraded from Mavericks with JDK 6, JDK7, and JDK8u20 installed, to Yosemite, and found this page when Java programs would not run. One of those days! If someone can answer the question of what else to try, it would be appreciated.


I am just trying to find out where the heck it’s ~supposed~ to be installed so maybe I can point LO there manually? Not sure where to go with this, I did not expect this, along with everything else today, to be one step forward and three steps back! Ugh. So then I went to Apple’s site cited above, downloaded that legacy version, and again on restarting LibreOffice, going to the Advanced preferences, it shows no runtime environments installed. I keep getting “The connection to the database could not be established – No Java installation could be found.” I was directed to install JRE, so I first went the Oracle route. I too am resurrecting this old business because I don’t see a “solution” here, only “some things you can do.” I am just trying to run LibreOffice to access a prior Base file (database) that I had created some time ago and haven’t used since. When they reload and Java is available, the runtime required error will disappear and the website content will load as expected. To resolve this runtime error message, you simply need to install Java using either of the methods outlined above, then quit and relaunch Safari web browser and return to the site(s) in question.

Yes, this will fix the “To view this web content, you need to install the Java runtime environment error”Ī notable number of Mac users have discovered an error message when using Safari to browse the web, the message is almost always a pop-up window that says: “To view this web content, you need to install the Java runtime environment.” That’s all there is to it, enjoy your Java in OS X Yosemite.

That just takes you to this Oracle website where you can download the latest installer for either the Java 8 JRE (the runtime, for most users) or the Java 8 JDK (the Java development kit, for developers). Click “More Info” to visit the Java Developer Kit download website.”Īs you may have guessed, click on “More Info” to launch the Java site in your default web browser, don’t click on OK it just closes the alert box. I don’t want this problem to end up with WD pointing the finger of blame at Oracle’s newest Java and Oracle pointing it at the MBL’s older firmware, whilst I find myself stuck with a £100 door stop!Īs my drive is still under a Remote selling sale-or-return option for the next two weeks, unless this situation improves soon I shall be giving it back, saying it simply can’t do what it says it can on the box.If you do not currently have Java installed, you’ll get a message that says “No Java runtime present, requesting install.” soon followed by a popup message that says “To use the ‘java’ command-line tool you need to install a JDK. Someone else has posted on another WD Community thread that those of us MBL users on firmware 2.x are now “on our own”.

I notice this problem seems only to affect MBL drives with the latest Java update and not M圜loud drives.Īpart from one WD staff message on this thread suggesting to try another browser, over a month has now gone by and there has been no further official feedback.įurthermore, if the two Java Certificates warnings I keep getting are to be believed, soon non-verified access, the pop-up warnings of which WD tell us to just ignore, will no longer be supported, requiring a firmware re-write from WD. I have exactly this same problem with a brand new MBL stopping me accessing my drive from my laptop when I am out and about.
