Make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest JDK release from Oracle: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html (file jdk-8u112-macosx-x64.dmg)
thank you for your response! but now i get this strange box on the linked page, cant click on anything
![]()
thank you very much for your assistance
Sorry, never seen that before. Perhaps it's an ad?
Here's the direct link though: http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u112-b16/jdk-8u112-macosx-x64.dmg
no, its the 'accept license' question. it just shows that blank box so i cant click on accept, any ideas? thank you!
Could always use a different browser to see whether you get the accept button.
Install the legacy version of Java available at https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572 then restart. I have seen this work on dozens of Macs.
