Even after upgrading to the latest version of Java, while running some applications on macOS Sierra (10.12), El Capitan (OS X 10.11), or Yosemite (OS X 10.10), users see a dialog box prompting to download Java. MacOS Sierra 10.12 or Yosemite (OS X 10.10) message. When I open the launcher, pop-up says 'To open “Minecraft” you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime.' Java 8u20 Build b17 is the only version of java that works on Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
If you would like to learn Java programming, the best way is by writing Java codes by yourself. To compile the Java codes then you need Java Development Kit (JDK). It can be Oracle JDK or OpenJDK. This post guides you how to install Oracle JDK 8 on Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite. It should be also applicable for previous version of OS X such as OS X Maverick, Mountain Lion, and OS X Lion. At the time of this post written, the latest version of JDK is JDK 8 Update 25.
Basically I previously had written an article how to install Java SE 7 / JDK 7 on Mac OS X Lion. I just would like to rewrite on the newest version.
1. Download Oracle JDK 8 from Oracle website. You need to accept license agreement to be able to download the file. Make sure you select the Mac OS X x64 platform (jdk-8u25-macosx-x64.dmg).
2. Double-click the downloaded file ‘jdk-8u25-macosx-x64.dmg’ and follow the on-screen installation.
3. Once it is successfully installed, it is installed inside /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines folder.

4. Verify that the system is now using JDK 8.
5. If you would like to uninstall JDK 8, simply remove the jdk1.8.0_25.jdk
Hopefully this tutorial helps you on installing JDK 8 / Java SE 8 on Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
