Java 8 compatibility

I am attempting run have and hearth on OS X yosemite with java 8 update 31 the application seems to open, but then I get an empty window and nothing happens. IS there anything short of reverting java to do to fix the problem?

Alternatively you could try Apoc lite client I think it uses java 8.

Using Java 8 isn't a problem in itself; it's what I use too. I can't say I know what the problem is, but it seems to me that it is at least something other than that, at least.

Ask Apple ... we had others using OsX with similiar going on - sadly i don't have a Mac myself to do tests - i recommend to search at OsX forums

from what i gathered in different threads about problems with Yosemite and Java 8 some solved their problems by using the JDK and not the JRE
(i think one problem is that the JRE does't create "environmental links" - while the JDK does and the contained jre profits from that)

uninstalling jre8

install jdk8
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/te ... c_jdk.html

switching back to an older version (Apple Java 6 or Oracle Java 7) would prolly make Java Programms work but for the price of insecurity
(Apple) Java 6 is EOL (End of Live = no Security Patches) and Java 7 will have the last patch in April then it's prolly going EoL too

one way might be to uninstall JRE 8 - install Java 7 JDK u75 - and wait whether Java 8 Mac bugfixes in future might help ...

IT starts up now. But now it keeps saying connection refused when I try to log in

What's IT ?!? Which client? You didn't change anything with your Java?
