Illustrator CS6 requires a Java runtime under OS X 10.10 Yosemite

26th Jul 2014

When opening Illustrator CS6 under OS X 10.10 Yosemite, a dialog box appears with the following warning :

illustrator-cs6-yosemite

Under Yosemite, Java 8 is the only version recommended for install from java.com but isn’t recognised by Illustrator. Apple’s Java for OS X 2014-001 installer allows Illustrator to run.
