I upgrade my MacBook Air to Yosemite DP4, but the latest JDK installers don't support Yosemite DP4.

The workaround for 8u11 is apply with 8u20 EA version from jdk8.java.net, but the JDK7 don't release its EA version yet.

If you don't have any future JDK 7 upgrade versions, please consider Yosemite enabled installer update version.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Run the JDK 7 Update 65.pkg from the finder.
