This is in part due to Oracle's missing definitions of the JRE8 VM capabilities. In case you don't want to install JRE6 at all and simply use JRE8 without symlinking it to the JRE6 either you can do the following: Copy the Info.plist located at the path named below to e.g.

THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE APPLIES TO: EFT Server, version 6.x; QUESTION. Why does Java keep prompting me for a password? Occasionally, when you are using a web form that requires Java (such as the Secure Ad Hoc Transfer module's send mail page or the Web Transfer Client), Java will continue to prompt you for login credentials, even though you've already provided your credentials.

I help others with their systems. As a Mac user since 1998, I find this considerably disappointing. Since I use Creative Suite 6 I have little incentive to install a later OS on my machines. Jobs) it seems to me that decision makers at Apple have implemented changes that detract from rather than improve the OS and the user experience. In this effort I have encountered slow performance and numerous issues with each OS beyond 10.9. Mac os sierra too large for reset.

~/Downloads/: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk.1.8./Contents/ and then replace JVMCapabilities CommandLine with the following: JVMCapabilities JNI BundledApp CommandLine Afterwards copy the file back to its original location (you need administrator rights). For this change to take effect you need to log out of your account (and back in) or restart your computer. The dialog for Java 6 should shouldn't appear anymore and Eclipse should launch just fine using JRE8 (or JRE7). The same holds true for any other application that initially asks for Java, e.g. Adobe's Creative Suite. On a related note it appears that this plist change sticks even after updates done through the Java Preference Panel in the System Preferences.

If it still doesn't work. You might need to add some folders and a symlink (): sudo mkdir -p /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_*.jdk/Contents/Home/bundle/Libraries sudo ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_*.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/server/libjvm.dylib /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_*.jdk/Contents/Home/bundle/Libraries/ sudo mkdir -p /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk sudo mkdir -p /System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle. To be able to run Eclipse with Java 7 (Oracle), I launch Eclipse using this file: eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.

'eclipse' folder contains alias for this file by default. So all that you need to do is to double-click the alias named 'eclipse'. Also Oracle warns that Oracle's Java version 7u25 and below have been disabled by Apple on OS X (see ). I had upgraded to the latest JDK version before I found out the way of launching Eclipse with Java 7.

So I don't know if the upgrade is necessary or not.
