To use the "java" command-line tool you need to install a JDK This seems to be a on-going thing with Apple but previous threads indicate that each time it seems to be a different issue. I just updated Catalina (10.15.7). The update included safari, system security update and a command-line tools update. After the update was complete, I get the following error when running brew update.
To use the &quot;java&quot; command-line tool you need to install a JDK. Click &quot;More info...&quot; to visit the Java Developer Kit download website.
When i click &quot;more&quot; it takes me to a adobe flash player end of life page. I noticed in similar threads it takes the user to a different page. For example in this post it takes a user to a safari page. I don't have the facebook file in Library/LaunchAgents like what has been reported in similar threads from 2019.
Is &quot;java&quot; a dependency of command-line tools now? Can I resolve this message any other way besides trying to download JDK on a system that was running fine without it?
Why am i getting taken to an adobe flash page when i click more? I don't have flash either (unless it was installed by factory)
UPDATE: PR was merged, fix will be available when version 3.0.1 is released.
This is a known issue that is being actively worked on.
I'm ignoring the alert for now, with the understanding that it will no longer show up once that PR is merged.
