java
I have an odd issue on my MAC. I installed java 1.8 sdk so I can use some Java applications however when I run any java based apps, they look real weird or I can get an error saying to use the latest java.
When I am on the command line and I type in java -version it shows 1.8
Any ideas on why my java apps don't seem to work?
The odd thing is if I run the application from a disk image (before i move to the applications folder) it works completely fine.
Use the Java Preferences app (located in the Utilities folder) to manage Java settings (also see this reference).
General steps:

The easiest solution is to update with "Java for OS X 2014-001" at the below link. Fixed a similar Java issue on all three computers I have.
