According to https://community.oracle.com/thread/3568196 the latest build on https://jdk8.java.net/download.html should work.
@webflo Thanks for the heads-up, but that's only for JDK8, and I'm not sure it's the right time to do a major java runtime version bump. Looks like they're aware of the issue and will be shipping a fix to jdk7 soon:

Note: Installation of Java on Mac OS X 10.10 currently fails with this message: "Java from Oracle requires Mac OS X 10.7.3 or later" This will be resolved in an upcoming build of 7u60.
For testing, I have modified the jdk/jre 7u67 packages to remove the os x version check. I don't plan to keep these changes in place, though, given Oracle's stated plans to fix this issue.
@dgoodlad I think this can be closed, as it's fixed by the work for #49 I think?
Fixed by #49.
The official JRE and JDK packages fail to install on Yosemite. Their install scripts contain a poorly-written version check, which compares OS X versions as strings. Since
"10.10"
, when compared as a string, is less than"10.7.3"
, the packages refuse to install.This can be resolved in one of a few ways:
