Re my previous comment, I forgot to mention that authentication in Taxonweb.be 
works perfectly.
It's just the application "eiD Viewer" that refuses to work.
Upon closing the error message a browser window opens to 
"http://java.com/nl/download/index.jsp" proposing to install Java Runtime 8.25 
- which we already have.

The viewer does indeed checks for Java Runtime Environment 1.6.0_00 - 1.7.0_40 
at the moment.
We will update it to support Java 8

Thanks.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to make the viewer check for a version "equal 
to or higher than a minimun" as opposed to check for a version "between a 
minimum and a maximum". That way you don't have to create a new viewer for each 
new Java release.
Just a thought...

Here the answer from Fedict: (sorry is in Dutch):
Geachte,

NL. De eID-Viewer is reeds compatibel met Java 8 maar het probleem ligt aan het 
feit dat de eID-Viewer zelf nog niet zoekt naar Java versies nieuwer dan Java 
7. Dit zal in een volgende release aangepast worden.

U kan tijdelijk rond dit probleem heen werken door Java 7 naast Java 8 te 
installeren.

Indien u de eID-Viewer wenst uit te voeren in Java 8 modus dan kan u dit via de 
command prompt doen.

Voorbeeld ( de "paths" dient u naargelang aan te passen):

C:\Users\urbain_philippe>"c:\Program Files 
(x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_25\bin\java.exe"-jar "c:\program files (x86)\Belgium 
Identity Card\EidViewer\eid viewer.exe"

Met vriendelijke groeten,

Perfekt!

We hebben "Doel" van de "eID viewer"-shortcut vervangen door:
  java -jar "c:\program files (x86)\Belgium Identity Card\EidViewer\eid viewer.exe"
met "Geminimaliseerd" voor de optie "Uitvoeren" (was "Normaal venster")

Dit blijft geldig voor volgende versies van java.
Thanks x 1024!

Hello reply from Service desk works fine:
(French)
Monsieur,

Serait-il possible de faire une mise à jour du logiciel à partir du lien 
d’installation ci-dessous ?

http://eid.belgium.be/fr/binaries/eID-QuickInstaller-407-7466-signed_tcm226-2588
53.exe

Cela devrait résoudre le problème de Java.

Sincères salutations,

Even with the link provided, eid doesn't read my id card, no pop-ups, no 
errors....

Have the same problem, but using OSX Yosemite 10.10...

I'm a bit (very) rusty, so using the commandline is not really an ideal 
solution.

Is there a fix planned anytime soon?

For OSX, the problem is more complicated than for Windows.

Apple used to ship a Java JRE, but they stopped doing that at some point. In 
order for applications to be started from an app bundle in OSX, a stub needs to 
be shipped with the app bundle.

Apple's stub does not function with any Java runtime environment that they did 
not write themselves. Since no Apple Java runtime environment exists beyond 
JRE6, this means that you can't use java8 for the viewer under OSX currently.

There is a solution made by Oracle, which we're migrating to, but there are 
some issues with it that haven't been solved yet.
