ATL was working just fine prior.
I am using JSE RE 1.7.071, which is the latest recommended for Macs. The specific error when opening the ATL.app is Quote:'To open ATLauncher'you need to install legacy Java SE 6 runtime.' This is obviously not something I would like to do. I can get the launcher to work if I open the jar contained within the.app via the command line using Quote:java -jar ATLauncher.app/Contents/Resources/Java/ATLauncher.jar However this does not pull in information about the Instances I have nor the saved user information. Some forums mention upgrading to Java 8. It is not a problem isolated to ATL. There was a bug report on the minecraft forums about this issue and may work-arounds floating out there, but nothing official or consistent.
The attached log is from a successful execution from Terminal. No logs are made (that I know of) from the failed attempts via the packaged app. Any help/advice is appreciated. RE: Mac Yosemite -11:05 AM Hello EmHCtH, I am the helpful bot here to give you a friendly reminder to make sure that you have posted as much information as possible to help solve your issue much faster. So please make sure you have the following in your first post:. Have you provided a link to the log file? If not please do so by clicking the 'Upload Log' button on the Launcher's console and paste the link.
Have you posted what your problem is in as much details as well as the steps taken to get that problem?. Have you tried restarting the Launcher and/or your computer to see if the issue wasn't just a once off? If you have done those things then your all good If not, please use the 'Edit' button below your post and add that information RyanTheAllmighty or someone else will get back to you shortly, hopefully with a fix RE: Mac Yosemite -12:08 PM Yeah the Mac App requires Java 6. The only workaround is to just use the jar version, either from the website or from within the app itself.
Just browse into the app where the ATLauncher jar is and just pull that entire folder out. I believe all the instances and everything is in there, so copying everything out of that and into a folder somewhere should work RE: Mac Yosemite -04:41 PM Alright.
I hope this is something that can be fixed in a future update. JRE 6 is not possible for some of the packs found in the launcher. For those wondering, the workaround is to run the jar in the app folder via Terminal.
For example, (assuming ATLauncher is in your Applications folder) you would type. Java -jar ATLauncher.jar This will then find your Instances and settings correctly. RE: Mac Yosemite -05:55 AM Yeah Java 6 is required for the Mac App to launch as it uses Apples wrapper which only uses the Java 6 binary from Apple.
The packs will still work as the launcher will search and find other java installed and use that for launching Minecraft so no issues there RE: Mac Yosemite -01:51 AM ( 05:55 AM)RyanTheAllmighty Wrote: Yeah Java 6 is required for the Mac App to launch as it uses Apples wrapper which only uses the Java 6 binary from Apple.

Apple gives me a wrong message. I google the message. In many forums people are told, watch the half-hour video about installing on Windows. Actually the problem is to change the security control panel on the mac.
Run ATLauncher again. I'm told I need Java 6.
Install Java 6. ATLauncher now runs.
And tells me I need Java 7 or 8! On top of this, most website links for Java for Mac actually point now to Java 8, which I read remains fairly incompatible with ATLauncher and with many mods. Most sites link you only to Java 8. I did find Java 7 here and then create an Oracle account in order to download it.
The great thing about standards is there are so many different ones to choose from. Is the the OOTB experience desired? Is so confusing, that must have made Minecraft a perfect fit for Microsoft.

If you're not happy with how it works, the Jar download for Linux/Others works just fine RE: Mac Yosemite -04:50 PM ( 10:43 AM)RyanTheAllmighty Wrote: Indeed. I would much prefer to remove the Mac App, but complaints. If you're not happy with how it works, the Jar download for Linux/Others works just fine Somehow I got both my kids computers working with ATLauncher and 1.7. As far as I can tell, ATL is impacted by Apple. The last Java apple offered (bundled) is 1.6.
Have to get it from Oracle after that. And Oracle only wants you to use 1.8. Though if you dig around you can find 1.7. Even then it seems Apple only supports an app launcher into 1.6. And various deceptive error dialogs and messages crop up in the process. Still I think the instructions are lacking.
Is the solution, to blame the victim. Hey if any kids or parents who want to us ATLauncher don't like the situation they should learn to install and run linux and learn about java and its political history and the shifting of blame it engenders.

Or just use the Jar.
Simple solution.
