Personally, I'm glad they continue to offer old stuff for download. I do
have an archive of the stuff I use, but definitely not everything Apple
has. If the latest version of Java for 10.6 wasn't in my archive and I
could still get it from Apple, great!

I haven't really followed this particular bug, but it may be fixed in
Sierra or earlier for all I know. I experienced the "app requires Java"
issue while I was running Mavericks while trying to use CrashPlan.
