OSX Messages Fezz: Couldn't create saved chat path at /Library/Messages/Archive

I could not see any pictures in my Message App but when browsing around my system logs, also found this:

If you are seeing these messages in your Console (100x of times):

5/19/16 11:58:45.499 AM Messages[3234]: [Warning] Fezz: Couldn't create saved chat sub-path at (null)
5/19/16 11:58:45.499 AM Messages[3234]: [Warning] Fezz: Couldn't create saved chat path at /Users/<username>/Library/Messages/Archive

Problem is apparently with this folder in /Library/Messages/Archive and Library/Messages/Attachments. The need to be deleted and recreated as folders, not files.

To get to Library/Messages on Mac, easiest method I found is: Finder -> Go -> (Press Opt/Alt on keyboard) -> Select "Library", then "Messages".

A trip from March 16 to 27.

OSX IntelliJ or Eclipse says it needs Java 6

1) Download  Java 6 2014 from Apple:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572

2) Install Oracle JDK 7
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Troubleshooting
Missing libserver.dylib?. If you follow the above instructions you should not have this problem.



Other:
Installing Oracle JDK 7 by itself is almost good but not good enough for Apple OSX. Most apps do not complain.
