Developer Preview for next OS X | El Capitan | Minecraft cannot be opened - Legacy Java SE 6 Runtime

This mac developer preview got released on Monday, during Apples WWDC conference. This version, after many bug fixes and amendments, will be made public later this year, and will be publicly available for BETA in a few months.
When you try to open Minecraft, a dialog pops up which says "'Minecraft' cannot be opened. This application requires the legacy Java SE 6 runtime which is unavailable for this version of OS X". The application cannot be opened. After further research, it appears that Mac has completely dropped support for this Java version. You cannot install legacy Java SE 6 runtime at all.
Thanks,
Toby.

OS X El Capitan is in development, and as such is currently not supported.

I'm trying to make the developers aware, since this version will be a major update in the fall and will be heavily adopted by the majority of mac users.
Thanks!

The developers will certainly be testing with the new version, but it is not valid for bug reports under the current system.
