Everytime I download the Technic Launcher, it says that I have to downgrade to Java SE 6.

Launcher Version: The Latest One

Operating System: Mac OS X Version 10.8.5

Java Version: Java 7

Antivirus Program: n/a

Description of Problem:

When I open the Technic Launcher, it says that I need to install Java SE 6, when I have Java 7. I think it's a big problem, because your Technic Launcher Download Page says it uses Java, but not what version. If you could upgrade the Technic Launcher to Java 7, or fix this bug, that'd be great!

Error Messages:

"To open JavaApplication, you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to install one now?"

Could you please give me a screenshot of that error window?

You are absolutly sure that you have installed java 7 properly?

Yes, it is installed correctly. I had Oracle (maker of Java) check it for me.

Hmm, that is extremely unusual, as I run It with Java 7.

Can you verify your using the launcher downloaded from our site, the absolute newest version?

[Nate Standard]

I am.

You don't actually need to "downgrade", according to the Oracle site, java 6 and 7 can "co-exist" on your pc. So try downloading the latest java 6 update 65.

I take it that since you use mac you need Apple's java, is this the linky for you?

[Nate Standard]

You guys do use Java 7 for the launcher, right? If so, shouldn't it should work fine? Or maybe you could just make Build 383 available for Java 6, too?

You're a bit confusing... the launcher doesn't exactly "use" java. The launcher connects to the game. Minecraft is built around java, the error that you get comes from the game.

Did you try downloading java 6 yet? I would like to know if that fixes your problem

Working on it. On another note, this same thing also happens with the ATLauncher, and the Asterion Launcher. So I think it is a Java error.

That's no new news. Every single error that fills the launcher Bug section is a java error

I tried installing Java SE 6, but it failed. It wouldn't install.

[Munaus]

Don't know what to tell then... I'm helpless when it comes to Macs.

Let's hope Chefsbrian knows more...
