After installing OS X 10.11, some apps now gives me "To open 'this Java application' you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime."

However, the Java in this link now refused to install. What can I do?

As mentioned by suelicious, the web article by Oliver Dowling gives the following solution. I did this and it allowed Photoshop to run!

Download the latest Java from Oracle... and then...

Here is the steps I did:

The solution is to edit

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Info.plist

and change:

key

>JVMCapabilities</

key

array

string

>CommandLine</

string

</

array

To:

key

>JVMCapabilities</

key

array

string

>CommandLine</

string

string

>JNI</

string

string

>BundledApp</

string

</

array

- Save the changes and start up Photoshop - no problems!

NOTE... depending on what JDK you have loaded, you will need to change the 'jdk1.8.0_45.jdk' to whatever you have loaded.

To figure that out, simply look at what is in /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/
