How to re-enable Java 6:
Yes, Apple has killed off Java 6 and 7, current versions, through their Xprotect malware facility.
The only 'fix' I have that works so far: Deleting the XProtect source file that lists the blacklisted Java.
Using Finder, go to System - Library - CoreServices and righ-click on CoreTypes.bundle. Choose Show Contents and then go into Contents, then the Resources folder in the new window that opens. Scrolling to the end will show Xprotect.meta.plist in the list, I deleted that file and then was able to run.
Upon a reboot this file will get re-built, however, so it isn't permanent fix. Going into System Preferences and Security, clicking the lock icon to change settings (enter password) and unchecking the 'Automatically update safe downloads list' prevents the file from getting rebuilt. This isn't the best bet for people who are not the safest of computer users, but it does allow the Java app's to run from their existing desktop shortcuts.
