Will my Java .Jar program run just fine under El Capitan?

[doxavita]

I very often use a Java .Jar program (in Yosemite). I currently have Java 8 update 45 installed. Will it run just fine under El Capitan?

Thanks very much.

If it won't here's a link to Apples Java for El Capitan. https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?locale=en_US

Will work. Don't worry.

Yes will be fine, but you really should be using 8u60 not 8u45 now

Could you please tell me what's the proper way to update to 8u60? thanks!

Download from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html as a dmg and install.

Be aware that the link I posted above from Apple is just to allow Java apps to run on your computer. It does not include the web plug-in which is just as much a security risk as flash. The one from Oracle includes the web plug-in so if you don't need it to access any websites on the web be sure to disable Java plug-in in the browser(s).
