After installing El Capitan I was having some issues with some CC6 applications not working that required Java 6. El Capitan did not allow me to install Java 6 and Java 8 did not fix the problem, so I decided to abandon Java altogether. So I deleted what I could using...

sudo rm -fr /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin

sudo rm -fr /Library/PreferencePanes/JavaControlPanel.prefpane

Now upon start up I get this alert: To use the "java" command-line tool you need to install a JDK. It also pops up at random times. Does anyone know how to stop this?

This is the alert. More Info... leads to Java Download. Re-installing does nothing.

I've read that the Java 6 RTE is not supported deliberately. This would drop support for a number of apps, most notable might be Adobe CS 5/6 apps

Yes, this is preventing me from using Adobe Illustrator CS6. Photoshop, Lightroom 5, and InDesign work fine, though..
