Enabling java plug-in 1.4.2_04 in internet explorer 6SP1

Does anyone know how to enable the java-plugin within ie programatically rather than manually. I have 2000+ machines which already have the JRE installed but I want to enable the plug-in within the browser. I know this can be done during an install but don't want to deploy to these machines again as they are connected to our network via ISDN.
Any advice would be appreciated

Hi: I have Windows XP Professional and IE 6.0 also
SP2. My Java plug-in 1.4.2_05 gives me an error
message saying, not installed properly. What can I
do to fix this problem? I appreciate any help I can
get.If Java did not install cleanly, uninstall it, download a new copy , and install the new copy.

HT202447 Do I re-enable Java plug-in in Safari after Flashback Removal Security update.

I received this update:
Flashback Removal Security update. After installing the following info came up.
This update removes the most common variants of the Flashback malware. If the Flashback malware is found, a dialog will notify you that malware was removed. In some cases, the update may need to restart your computer in order to completely remove the Flashback malware.
To improve the security of your Mac, this update also disables the Java plug-in in Safari. For instructions on how to re-enable it, please visit:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5241.
My question is: Do I leave disabled or do I re-enable it? Not sure what is the right thing to do.

Leave it as disabled unless and until you need Java for a particular web site. Very few use it. Leave Java Script enabled as this is something completely different.

Java 7 update 10 not working with Internet Explorer 8

Hi there,
I recently upgraded to Java 7 update 10 and ever since no Java applet loads in Internet Explorer 8 (works fine in Firefox 17.1).
I've tried uninstalling Java and reinstalling Java many times, makes no difference.
Can someone help me please?
Thanks
Ninko
P.S. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium (all updated), in case it helps.

I agree - check to make sure IE itself hasn't disabled Java.
Since you're using Java 7.10, please also check the Security tab in the Java Control Panel which can be found in the Windows Control Panel.
While in the Java Control Panel, check also the Advanced tab and make sure Microsoft Internet Explorer is checked under 'Default Java for browsers'
Alternatively check this registry key: HKCU\Software\AppDataLow\Software\JavaSoft\DeploymentProperties
For this setting: deployment.webjava.enabled
Make sure its set to 'true' to enable java; if its 'false' it disables java.

Enable button in File Toolbar when launching in Internet Explorer

I have an installation of Acrobat Reader 8 installed using an MST file on several Citrix Servers. Also a hidemenu.js file is configured to show /hide some specific items.
When I open a PDF file all the items are showed/ hide as configured in the hidemenu.js file. So far so good
When launching Internet Explorer and open a pdf file in the browser some buttons are missing. We need the E-mail button from the File Toolbar by default. This button is there when I open the application outside Internet Explorer. The user can enable the E-mail option using the File Toolbar, but this setting is reset when the user has logged of.
Can somebody please explain how to enable this option (or any other option from the File Toolbar) when open a pdf file in Internet Explorer by default?

Hi,
In the screen which shows you the dump, you will have a button debugger. Click on that and find out the field that is passed to 'obj'. It should be of character type and it is passed as Packed Integer in your report. Change the data type to 'C' and check it.

I would like to programatically enable Java Plugin in Firefox 19. I do not want to use pluginreg.dat file in Appdata Folder

I have a need to enable Java Plug-in 6U20 6.0.200.2 in Firefix 19. This version of Java is disabled by Firefox by default since it has few security issues. But still i need that to be enabled. Do we have a method to do it. I do not want to use %Application Data%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<Random Profile Name>\pluginreg.dat file as this is created under a random profile. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi David, Thanks for the quick reply. But i have already gone through the solution that you provided. My requirement here is to automate this. User machines are already installed with the Java 6 U20 which they need it anyway. When i install Firefox, this Plug in should be enabled to the users. I need to use some script / commands to make this happen.

Static variable, a bug in applet classloader, Java plug-in?

I found a potential bug in java plug-in.
Environment,
1. IE 6.0
2. Windows XP
3. JRE 1.3.1.06 and JRE 1.4.1.01
Steps,
1. build a very simple applet (attached below)
2. embed the applet into a .html page.
3. enable java plug-in for IE and Netscape.
4. launch the .html page in either of the two browsers.
5. for the 1st time, I can see 'tmp = 0' in the java console window.
6. keep the browser open, browse to 'www.google.com'
7. click 'Back' button of the browser.
8. I notice 'tmp = 1' in the java console window.
9. if I browse to google.com and back again, it will display 'tmp = 2'. and the number will keep on increasing if I repeat those steps.
10. But if I press F5 to refresh the page, the log message will go back to 'tmp = 0'. and if I press 'x' inthe console window to clean up the classloader cache, I will get 'tmp = 0'. If I close the browser and open a new one, I will still get 'tmp = 0', which is what the applet should output.
11. If I click 't' in the console window to list the thread while I am in the 'google' page, I can't see the applet thread, which means the applet should have been destroyed.
12. No matter I try 'g' to do garbage collect, or 'f' to finalize objects, the problem still happens. the only solution is what I did in the step 10.
Is it a bug in the classloader or the JRE itself? Why the value of the static variable won't be cleaned up along with the applet?
----------- HERE IS THE APPLET --------------------
import java.applet.Applet;
public class AA extends Applet
private static long tmp = 0;
public void init() {
System.out.println("tmp value = " + tmp);
tmp++;
public void start() {}
public void stop() {}
public void destroy() {}

Static values are stored in the class. Once a class is loaded into a classloader, it cannot be unloaded (the only thing you can do is use another classloader).
Apparently, the classloader cache allows sharing of classloaders between applet instances. Perhaps F5 (reload) causes the classloader cache to be cleared.
I don't see any bug. When developing applications or applets that must run in the same JVM, you should program defensively and avoid using static values which can change over time.

Problem with firewall and java on line sites internet explorer

i have been experiencing problems with java on line games because the firewall has blocked usage.On two of them when i press play to play the game a message appears error on page.If i dowload mozilla will i have the same problems? also when downloading from my gmail account again error on page. When i donload your browser do i click on save or open?

Well... good; when we help each other here, we can't
assume that any step has been taken, unless it's been
specifically identified. I'm sure that makes it all
the more frustrating, since you are a very experienced
user.
Now, then:
-- since you have reinstalled the Java Update; and
-- if you open your Help >> Installed Plug-ins, and
scroll down the list and find these three items:
Java Plug-in for Cocoa -- Java 1.4.2 "JavaPluginCocoa.bundle"
Java Plug-in (CFM) -- Java 1.3.1 "Java Applet Plugin Enabler"
Java Plug-in "Java Applet.plugin"
-- and if Enable Java and Enable JavaScript are checked in:
Safari >> Preferences >> Security, as you say they are; and
-- if Enable Plug-ins is checked in the same section,
as you say it is; and
-- you have repaired permissions, as you say you have; and
-- you have emptied your Cache; and
-- your Icons folder ({YOU}/Library/Safari/Icons) has been
trashed if it is over 750 KB; and
-- you have Quit, then relaunched Safari after all this,
as you say you have; and
-- your {YOU}/Library/Caches and {YOU}/Library/Caches/Safari
folders have read and write permissions
...then, I'm currently at a loss as to what else to suggest.

After Java patch 1.7.0_07 ENable applet plug-in and Web start checkbox is gone!

Hello all,
Using ML 10.8.1 and Safair 6.0
After Java patch 1.7.0_07 ENable applet plug-in and Web start checkbox is gone! The check box to enable Safari to load Java pages is 100% gone, missing, just not there anymore.
When I go to the Java test page it shows that I have Java 7 loaded. Has anyone else run into this problem or have a solution to enable true load loading in Safari and bring back the Enable applet plug-in and Web Start application check box in ML...
Thanks

I found out something very interesting. I noticed that another page would show up for less than have a second before the ML Java Preference would show up. I did a video recording of this and moved frame by frame. I show that the page / pane showing up had the following option:
Run applets: in their own process
within their browser process
Both boxes for the two are unchecked.
Then this page would disappear and nother would show up without the option / check box

How can I enable java applet plug-in and Web Start applications via terminal?

Since the last Java update to Snow Leopard, I have found that the system periodically disables the Java applet plug-in after a period of disuse. I know I can go to /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences and just click to re-enable Java. But I want to write a script which will do this periodically for a couple hundred Mac users where I work.
My question is - how can I reenable the Java applet plug-in and web start applications via Terminal command? Is this possible? Is there a plist file that can be modified, etc.?
Bob Reed

It is my understanding that Apple's most recent Java update automatically disables Java after a certain period of time that it hasn't been used. We don't want users to have to keep re-enabling it. So we wanted to find a way to do this via script either run by a Casper JSS server or stored locally on each workstation.   With the guidance provided by Mark Jalbert above and some text from a script written by Rich Trouton, I was able to make a script (with some minor changes) and a launch agent to re-run the script upon login. So the preference is always enabled.
For your reference, the script content is:
#!/bin/sh
# DYNAMICALLY SET THE UUID FOR THE BYHOST FILE NAMING
if [[ `ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c27-50` == "00000000-0000-1000-8000-" ]]; then
MAC_UUID=`ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c51-62 | awk {'print tolower()'}`
elif [[ `ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c27-50` != "00000000-0000-1000-8000-" ]]; then
MAC_UUID=`ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c27-62`
fi

I hope this is helpful to anyone wishing to keep the Java web plugin enabled.

Looking for a good Javascript to let me know if the "Enable applet plug-in and Web Start Applications is enabled" is disabled or enabled within Java Preferences?

If this code could work on Snow Leopard as well, that would be awesome. I have a code to tell if Java is enable or disabled on any web browser, but it does not detect if the Java Preferences "Enable applet plug-in and Web Start Applications is enabled" is enabled or disabled. Just looking for a specific code to tell if this option is disabled or enabled.
Thank you

Launch Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app by double-clicking.
EDIT; But I think you are confusing this with JavaScript which has nothing to do with it.

After uninstalling and installing several times, Java plug-in is still undetected. Support suggested I open up the control panel and click update but there isn't such an option. The advance tab, there aren't any options to enable or disable plug-ins.

If you're running Java 7, then in System Preferences > Java > Java Control Panel in the Security tab there is a check box to enable Java in your browser. To check for update go to the Update tab.

I am unable to unblock plug-ins. My javascript is enables, java is allowed, other plug ins is allowed. Help!

How do I enable a Java plug-in via script that was just added to the blocklist?

I need to enable Java 6u29 that was just added to the blocklist via script because there are several thousand end-nodes involved. Also, I am constrained to Firefox 3.6 due application compatibility issues.

Probably the only or easiest way to remove or disable the blocklist of older Java versions would be to disable blocklisting by locking the extensions.blocklist.enabled to false via a mozilla.cfg file.<br />
You are already running a no longer supported Firefox 3.6.x version that won't receive updates.
You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
lockPref("extensions.blocklist.enabled", false);
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/extensions.blocklist.enabled

Java options: "Enable the next-generation Java Plug-in"

On windows, this option is sometimes "grayed out" and you cannot disable it.
This option is available since java 6 u 10, and is accessible via windows control panel, or alternatively via javacpl.exe.
Which are the cases where the option is grayed out?
I've made the assumption that it is grayed out on windows 7, or on windows 7 64, but there are cases of windows 7 64 where the option isn't grayed out.
It seem neither connected with Internet Explorer version, since it works or not with either IE 8 or IE 9.
Edited by: Agostino on 18-gen-2012 2.58

Current Firefox versions (3.6 and later) can only run Java applets via the Next Generation plugin.
