Mavericks, CS6, and Java

Has anyone figured out a way to get CS6 to run on 10.9 with Java 7? I don't want to install Java 6 since updates for it are no longer publicly available. When I attempt to open Illustrator, Dreamweaver, or Flash I get the error, "To open Flash you need a Java SE 6 Runtime. Would you like to install one now?"

The fact of the matter, is that I would NOT like to install a Java 6 runtime. I would like it to use a current version of Java.

In case anyone ever looks for this and finds it, I gave up and just installed Java 6. Adobe said I must. I couldn't get the update server to install it so I manually installed: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572

Yes, by installing both java 6 and java 7. From Adobe's site.....

Even if you have installed Java SE 7 Runtime, it's still necessary to install Java SE 6 Runtime as described above.

Hopefully an update from Java/Adobe will fix this and just allow for one runtime.
