"Java" Command-line tool error message

On my computer, I am getting a pop up message that says "To use the "java" command-line tool you need to install a JDK. Click "more-info..." to visit the Java Developer Kit download website." When I click "more info" it prompts me to install adobe flash player, I do, I restart my computer and that pop up still shows up. It does it over 10 times a day. I've uninstalled Flash Player and restarted my computer again and it still pops up. Help!

I don't know what Java JDK has to do with Flash Player or vice versa.  But you would obtain a Java JDK from Oracle, not Adobe.

When was the last time you performed a system-wide virus and spyware scan?

I've been dealing with the same pop up since I started up my new Mac over a month ago. 😞

Please contact Oracle for your issue with Java.  The answer marked correct is still correct.  Java is an Oracle product, not Adobe product.  Nothing anyone here can do for this issue.
