Anyone going to fix this as this bug makes the entire package useless on OS X 10.11, where the only supported java version is 1.8.

Note: it seems that on my case I was able to bypass this by running these:
{code}
brew update
brew tap caskroom/cask
brew tap caskroom/versions
brew cask install java7
brew cask install java --force
{code}

Unresolved requirement: Require-Capability: osgi.ee; filter:="(&(osgi.ee=JavaSE)(version=1.7))"

Seeing a line like the one above makes me fill sorry for the poor guy who wrote this time-bomb.

>             Project: Directory Studio
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M9 (2.0.0.v20150606-M9)
>         Environment: OSX 10.10
> Installed JavaSE, JavaSDK
>            Reporter: Florian Heigl
>            Priority: Blocker
>
> Well it won't even run without installing a old Java6 SDK.
> That would be problematic since DS Studio is what I use for maintaining the really critical stuff, so I would prefer to not get attacked anywhere I go by having old Java crud installed.
> It seems it would mostly be a matter of modifying the plist file.
> The DS FAQ has some info about setting the java version but OS X is not mentioned in those howtos.
> I'm going to try poking at the file, but most probably i'll fail and just sit there and sob.
