Download Java for OS X 2017-001. Java for macOS 2017-001 installs the legacy Java 6 runtime for macOS 10.13 High Sierra, macOS 10.12 Sierra, macOS 10.11 El Capitan, macOS 10.10 Yosemite, macOS 10.9 Mavericks, macOS 10.8 Mountain Lion, and macOS 10.7 Lion. This package is exclusively intended for support of legacy software and installs.
I have installed Oracle’s JDK 8 on Mac OS X El Capitan in an attempt to allow Libre Office (LO) macro within a Spreadsheet and also for database use. I have had partial success, but any of the changes I make in the ‘Security’ setting i.e. Macro-Security-change to Medium, ‘Trusted folder’ etc are lost on exit from LO; bringing me back to square one.
- Apple has posted notice that Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) will be the last OS X release that supports Java 6, and as such, recommends developers whose applications depend on Java 6 to migrate their apps to a newer Java version provided by Oracle.

- When running on OSX 10.11 'El Capitan', when SIP is enabled, certain environment variables intended for debugging applications, such as DYLDLIBRARYPATH, may be stripped from the environment when running Java from the command line or when double-clicking a JAR file. Applications should not rely on these variables in a production environment.

It also seems impossible to create a database within LO for clearly connected reasons relating to the (alleged) absence of JRE.
I believe that there may be something specific about the ‘El Capitan’ O/S which seeks to prevent a smooth ride in this department, and as a newbie to the MAC environment at least any advice would be appreciated.
Since installing El Capitan, I am not able to run Adobe Photoshop or Dreamweaver (old versions).
I get the message 'You need to install the legacy Java SE runtime'
Java El Capitan Mac
I am trying to uninstall Java and reinstall the Java SE 6 runtime I downloaded from Apple, but even though I am sure all traces of Java are gone, I am still not able to install. Every time I try to install the runtime, I get a message that says: 'Java for OS X 2014-001 can't be installed on this disk. A newer version of this package is already installed.'
I already removed /Library/Java and everything under it. I also checked /etc/paths and Java is removed.
Java Se 6 For El Capitan
Not sure whatever vestiges of Java remain, but I am still getting the message.
