Issue
Just installed a fresh version of Kepler 64bit "for Java Developers" on Yosemite, getting this error on first launch. Any thoughts on how to fix? Really do not want to downgrade my Java version!
Solution
I ended up relenting and downloading Java 6 from here:

Apparently this seems to coexist ok with the latest Java version which I also installed (version 8 update 25) and version 8 shows up as the version I'm running when I verify from
https://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp
I'm unclear on the security implications of this though, would have preferred another solution, if anyone finds a better solution than installing 6 please let me know.
