MFP-Cli (MobileFirst Platform 7.1) on MacOS El Capitan - ibm-mobilefirst

I just updated my MacOS to El Capitan and I tried to install the newest MFP-Cli, version 7.1, on it but no success.
When I double click on install_mac.app the password screen shows up, but after that it closes without message.
I also tried to run the install file inside of install_mac.app/ and I got the following:
2015-10-06 11:06:54.828 install[991:10602] Exe: /Users/jairrillo/Downloads/mobilefirst-cli-installer-7.1.0/install_mac.app/Contents/Resources/install.app
logout
Saving session...
...copying shared history...
...saving history...truncating history files...
...completed.
Does anyone had the same issue?

This is not related to OS X El Capitan.
The installation fails due to a bug in the product that has been resolved.
Look out for a newer build to be released, soon. Its build number should be 7.1.0.0 ... IF201510051721.

This can also be caused by a missing or misconfigured JDK. I seemed to run into this issue despite not recalling a JDK uninstall since last using MFP-CLI 7.1, so it is possible an El Capitan update may have done something to your JDK 7 install. Run a quick "java" command in your Terminal and it should alert you to JDK issues if that is the case.

Datastax DevCenter freezes on startup

Just installed (copied over the app from the downloaded dmg) DevCenter 1.6 on my mac, running macOs Sierra 10.12.6 with jdk 8u152 installed. The application loads a UI (splash screen then a couple of checkboxes in a window for getting started) but the UI is frozen (with the splash screen still there). No response to mouse clicks or keyboard. Also can't click on the app name in the menu bar. The app however is not labeled "Not responding" by activity monitor.
So far I've tried -
Looking at the logs both in the app folder and in ~/.devcenter. Nothing fishy there
Running the app from a different user account - same issue there
Deleting all datastax and devcenter related files (searched by name) on my machine and fresh start - still the same issue
any ideas what I could do here?
I was running DevCenter on a previous mac with the same config / os version but a slightly older JDK, never had issues then.
On OSX, you can specify which version of Java DevCenter uses so that you do not need to downgrade your global Java version.
Right-click on Devcenter.app
Click "show package contents"
Open Contents/info.plist
At the bottom of the file, there's an Eclipse key with lines commented out explaining how to specify the version of Java. Uncomment the line and specify the version of Java that you want DevCenter to use.
Save & Re-launch DevCenter
The updated info.plist file should look something like this:
<key>Eclipse</key>
<array>
<string>-vm</string><string>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java</string>
</array>
I reached out to someone at Datastax and learnt that complaints have surfaced about this behavior when using DevCenter with jdk 8u152.
For now, I've downgraded to jdk 8u151 and that fixes the issue.
Without downgrade the Java version
Scenario
I couldn't create any connection and press buttons and everything was frozen; Changing the swt plugin in the DevCenter plugin folder worked. This was my configuration:
DevCenter version DevCenter-1.6.0-macosx-x86_64
Mac OSX version 10.14.6
JDK Version jdk1.8.0_231.jdk
Steps to fix it
From here download the version 3.108.0. (This version works for me)
Rename the file downloaded as swt.jar (short name)
[Optionally] create a backup of the current swt plugin jar of the DevCenter
cp DevCenter/DevCenter.app/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_3.103.2.v20150203-1351.jar ~/Desktop
Replace the plugin with the swt.jar downloaded
mv swt.jar DevCenter/DevCenter.app/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_3.103.2.v20150203-1351.jar
Startup DevCenter
Finally it worked

GitHub asks me to "add a new helper tool" every time I open it

Every time I open GitHub for Mac it asks me to "add a new helper tool" and prompts me for my password. Every time I enter my password (I am an admin on this computer) but I see no noticeable changes afterwards and the prompt comes back every time I reopen GitHub. (See attached photo for the prompt window.)
I am running OSX Yosemite Version 10.10 on a Late 2012 Mac Mini (2.5 GHz Intel Core i5).
Unsure if this is related but I am running GitHub version "Reactive Barbecue (186)". According to the GitHub for Mac release notes this is NOT the newest version, but when I select "Check for updates" it says I have the latest version. Would a fresh install of GitHub solve this? This is more of a nuisance and doesn't noticeably impede my work.
I use GitHub daily for XCode pushes with my coworkers. They all use MacBook Airs and OSX Yosemite but do not have the same issue as me.
I was also having this problem.
Cause? Maybe GitHub.app was confused by multiple git installations: XCode's Command Line Tools and Homebrew's copy (a newer version and includes bash completion).
Running the shell command git credential-osxkeychain returned a "usage" line, so a helper was installed despite that message.
Fix: Downloading and running GitHub Desktop successfully installed its helper. I think GitHub Desktop.app is the new name for GitHub.app, so apparently they fixed the bug by now.
BTW: They wrote "If you're using GitHub for Mac or Windows, the upgrade is automatic.", but their automatic upgrade didn't fix this problem nor switch to "GitHub Desktop.app".
The only solution I found so far was to delete the GitHub for Mac application. Then I re-downloaded the app (the most recent version 193 "Big Feels").
It then gave me a popup saying I needed to uninstall the old version since OSX now comes with Git commands by default (or something like that?). Clicking "Uninstall now" made the app crash so I had to select "Uninstall later". This is sort of only a fix for the symptom since GitHub could keep telling me to uninstall every time I open it, but at least it says I have the most recent version now.
Use AppCleaner and nuke it. Reinstall.

Why does brew doctor say XCode 6.0.1 isn't the latest version?

Just installed Yosemite and when I run brew doctor I get:
Warning: Your Xcode (6.0.1) is outdated
Please update to Xcode 6.1.
Xcode can be updated from the App Store.
But in the AppStore it looks like XCode 6.0.1 is the latest version. What's the best way to correct this?
Tis that slight lag between 10.10 being Avail and xcode getting updated. If you read the top of brew doctor output it says
Please note that these warnings are just used to help the Homebrew maintainers
with debugging if you file an issue. If everything you use Homebrew for is
working fine: please don't worry and just ignore them. Thanks!
So if everything is working, then you should do what it suggests and ignore it. The command line tools / compilers where updated for 10.10 (software update should have picked them up for you). Are you running into any issues with compiling? or just that warning.
pulling up from the comments. Your ruby and postgresql issues are from the upgrade, but it isn't really brews fault, or that compiler error warning.
with rvm just reinstall your ruby. My main dev is done with ruby-2.1.3 so
rvm reinstall ruby-2.1.3
rebuilt ruby and all my gems. The problem is that the ssl libs (maybe others) that ruby was linked to were removed / replaced in the upgrade to 10.10. The reinstall will rebuild and relink to the newer correct libs.
postgresql is slightly different. Apparently during the upgrade a couple of empty directories in /usr/local/var/postgres get removed. No idea why.
see this SO answer for how to fix that.
`pg_tblspc` missing after installation of latest version of OS X (Yosemite or El Capitan)
also if you are use pow (http://pow.cx) you will need to upgrade it to the latest version as 10.10 removed ipfw completely and only leaves pf as the firewall. so you will need to the new version which uses pf anchors.
The above steps where all I needed to do it in order to get my dev back to working.
Looks like developer.apple.com does show an XCode 6.1 as "Available Shortly" as of Fri, Oct 17, at 10pm central time. Not yet available from the AppStore. I guess I'm just too eager for an update.

Intellij apparently not getting installed, not running

i have a 32 bit Fedora 14 machine and I am trying to install IntellIJ IDEA on it, I used the package manager to install it. Along with that installation, also Eclipse and Groovy got installed.
Then I tried to install a new version of JDK but it didnt allow me to do so because of conflict with an older version of JRE, So I removed the JRE older version and installed JDK.
Then I have been noticing that IntelliJ refuses to run, I uninstalled and reinstalled and checked several times, but it just refuses to start, Then I opened a terminal and typed intell, hoping that the terminal would complete it for me, and I could launch the program from the command line, but no it said "intellIj:Command not found", whereas the same thing does not happen with Eclipse or Groovy.
I have tried restarting the machine several times, uninstalled and then reinstalled the packages several times, but nothing seems to work. I am not sure whether Intellij is getting installed or not, but the Package Manager does not show any error while the software is being installed. Any ideas as to why this is happening, and how to get around this problem?
You should try to install it manually by just extracting tgz file downloaded from producer website. Then you start IDE by launching IDEA_DIRECTORY/bin/idea.sh

Netbeans 7.1.2 and 6.7.1, SoapUI both stopped working on OS X Mavericks

Installed the OS X Mavericks last night and Netbeans and SoapUI both doesnt work anymore. Has anyone found a solution for this?
Updating Java JRE fixed Netbeans, other products that are still having issues:
1) SoapUI
2) Apache Directory Studio
3) PyCharm
I had the same problem. Try to install the newest Java JRE. It worked for me
Downloading NetBeans 7.4 worked for me
Updating Java JRE and downloading NetBeans 7.4 didn’t work for me.
Installation issue : Neatbean 7.4 was unable to install and previous version (7.2 on my computer) was unable to launch.
When i tried to launch Photoshop 5.1, i had a message saying Java SE 6 was missing. Mavericks asked to download it. After installing automatically, Photoshop and Netbeans install was ok.
