Answer 1

If you download the yEd installer file from the main download page, you don't have to care about Java. This yEd package comes with its own Java version and includes it in such a way that it can only be used from yEd but not from any other software or, for example, from any Web page. Therefore, you don't have to care about updating it. With every new release of yEd, we take care to update this private Java as well to get new features or error corrections.
