Recently i just upgraded my Macbook Pro to the new Macbook Retina Display (mid 2014) that comes default with OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. After installing Java JDK 1.8, all my Android IDE (Eclipse and Android Studio) work well so i can continue my development as usual. The problem comes when i update the OS X to Yosemite 10.10.3, my Eclipse won’t open anymore. When i start Eclipse by clicking on its icon, the warning dialog appears saying ‘To open “Eclipse” you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime’.
The suggested solution is to install Java SE 6 runtime from Apple website by clicking the More Info button. But because the internet service is expensive here and i don’t want to spend extra internet quota to download the java update,i do some googlings and found an alternative solution.
