What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Download Raptor, try to install.
2.Says I need Java, install Java.  Java installed, all good.
3.Download Raptor, try to install.  Says I need Java.  Etc.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expected install.  Got 
install Java message.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system and
what environment?  V98u3f5   OS-X Yosemite

Please provide any additional information below.

Hello,

At the moment there is not much that I can do to help you, other than suggest 
that you follow the wiki guidelines on how to extract a readonly copy of Raptor 
and run from eclipse.

Looks like the latest version of MacOSX behaves different than its predecessors 
and I have no way to test the installer on Yosemite.

Probably a stupid question, but did you test that the installed version of Java 
actually runs? (e.g. in a Terminal enter the command "java -version" and see 
what happens) On Maverick, by default only signed applications are allowed to 
run, so even if one would download and install Java, the OS still would not run 
it until it is told to trust the application.

Ok, did some googling and came up with several forum threads where people are 
complaining about the combination of Yosemity and Java (e.g. 
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1803947)

Looks to be more complicated than I hoped for, but this is clearly a problem 
with your environment, not with Raptor. Perhaps one of the workarounds given in 
those forums may be of help to you.

Regards.

Well. I did the terminal, said there was no Java installed.  But I've installed 
it, and when I got to the Java site and do a check, it tells me I have the 
latest and greatest Java installed.  I'm not the smartest with computers, and 
brand new to Mac, any more advice would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Got it-
If anyone else needs it, found this:
http://osxdaily.com/2014/10/21/get-java-os-x-yosemite/
Went to the link to get the Apple version (close to the top).   That one seems 
to work.
