OSX installer ask for Java 1.6 installation while 1.8 is present #17

Hi,

thank you for your work with JAuth, here is an issue:

OSX installer ask for Java 1.6 installation while 1.8 is present This often happens on Java apps on OSX while checking the presence of Java, unfortunately I don't know how to fix it

I have not tried to remove the check on the Info.plist yet

Hi,

Thanks for the email. Apologies but we know about the problem but haven't got around to fixing yet. If all else fails you can compile the jar from source using your default jdk.

Hi, I am facing the issue also on OS X (Yosemite). It seems that the issue occurs only when invoking the app directly. When launching the jar (see below) the JAuth is properly launched with Java 1.8.

java -jar JAuth.jar

@softius true, I also used this workaround
