#JAVA 6 FOR MAC DOWNLOAD UPDATE#

Downgrade to an older version of macOS which can still run Java 6 and never ever be able to upgrade (new Macs like the MacBook Pro 16' can only run Catalina so this may not be possible or not for long).

Switch to a different program from a different developer who is actually maintaining their program and either does not need Java or at least supports a current version of Java.

Contact the developer and see if they have a solution, e.g.

Java 8 or later, whilst some developers have been stupid enough to hard code their software to only work with Java 6 in theory Java software can work with other versions Try using a newer version of Java i.e.There is zero chance Apple will provide a version of Java 6 for Catalina. Remember this is not something that literally happened just this month there has been years of warnings. Home users can do what they want, by definition home users are not running a business on such obsolete software whereas business users have a duty to ensure they do not expose themselves to such problems or run the risk of potentially going bust when the inevitable happens. With warnings that Java 6 was obsolete having been issued for years there is no excuse. Even in the case where the original developer is no more it is the users responsibility to recognise this and move on. Arguably this could also be applied to some users who have also failed to move on.

Whilst Java 6 was written by Oracle for Mac it was being distributed by Apple but Apple had been warning for years and years and years that it was obsolete and that really, absolutely, definitely, no more excuses that it would not be supported in Catalina.Дespite this a number of developers have been incredibly lazy and/or stupid and failed to update their software. (Java versions back to Java 8 currently still get updates.)

The current version of Java is Java 12 which should give you an idea of how incredibly ancient Java 6 is. Java 6 has not been supported by anyone for years and years and years.
