Hi,

I am new here, but was running into the same problem (ImageJ asking for "legacy Java SE 6 runtime") while SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b17) is installed on my Yosemite

So after fumbling because I did not want to install an old Java version on top of the newer one, I got the solution

In the terminal just hit the simple command:

java -jar /Applications/ImageJ.app/Contents/Resources/Java/ij.jar

Assuming ImageJ app is in the /Application folder, else correct the path to the ij.jar file and it starts like a charm

To make launch easier, it is then convenient to copy the command inside an Automator applet which will launch ImageJ with a classical "double clic"

Here, you see ImageJ launched with Java 1.8.0_25 on Yosemite (10.10.1 build 14B23)



Hope this helps
