Just received my new laptop today (Macbook Air running OSX 10.8.4), and the first game I installed onto it was, of course, Minecraft.
Before doing so, however, I stopped by the Oracle Java website and downloaded / installed Java version 7 update 21. When launching the game, however, I'm being prompted to install Java SE 6 Runtime. Is this a completely separate setup of Java, or is the game simply not recognizing that I've already installed a newer version?
Heh. Uninstall your Java installs and then reinstall Java 7, latest one, 64-bit.
I already have... three times now. As stated earlier.
Giving up for now. Uninstalled Java 7 update 21, and installed Java 6 update 45. It is (supposedly) the 64-bit version, and running "java -version" in a terminal session appears to support that.
Am now able to run Minecraft (after kicking Gatekeeper a couple of times).

Retired StaffI have removed Java from my laptop, downloaded a fresh copy of it, and reinstalled. I am still getting the same message.
Any other possible ideas?
It is also demanding that I install Java SE 6 Runtime.
