This java command line tool keeps popping up every time I boot up and i can’t figure out how to get rid of it!  
Im running Mojave on an Macmini 2012  
Does anyone know how to remove it? It seems to be related to Adobe Flash which I uninstalled, but it still keeps showing up.  
Any ideas, thanx

There is no screenshot or any other kind of display what you see. So it is quite difficult to answer your post…

This is what shows…  
Theres no facebook.videochat in there. Perhaps its Adobe related?

yes, it certainly is. Perhaps an old version of Photoshop? " Older software such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator requires legacy Java support. Without a compatible Java command-line tool for these software, you’ll get this pop-up every time you turn on your Mac computer."

So should I instead get the java command tools as I have adobe suite CS6 onboard?  
How would I do that?

Yes - here:

###### Fix Java Command-Line Tool Pop-Up on Mac OS X

- Download [Java for OS X 2017-001 aka Apple’s version of Legacy Java Command-line tool](https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572).
- Mount the .dmg disk image file and install Java 6 runtime for OS X.
- Restart your Mac and enjoy the absence of this Java command-line tool error pop-up!
