There are a couple of ways to do this but, since a good solution has already been posted here, I'll refer you to the thread:

Download the latest Java from Oracle and then...

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/

To get the latest version of Java (the version referenced in the above solution), copy+paste the following into the URL bar of a broswer:

java.com/en/download/

You'll be able to edit the file referenced by using TextEdit (just copy+paste - don't worry about the boxes around words like string - they only need to be normal text)
