How widespread still is the use of JRE 1.4.2 or older

The client of our BPM software suite requires JRE 1.4.2. or newer. However, we plan to drop support for 1.4.2 for our new release. Can anyone provide me with figures (or good guesses) of the use of this JRE version, specifically in (larger) business environments?

My guess is that there are quite alot companies that use JRE 1.4.2
The problem in larger business environments is that a major version upgrade normally requires retesting huge amounts of applications/applets.
This is specially a problem if your BPM client is applet based because in this case you share the runtime with alot of other applets which perhaps are not able to run on 1.5 yet.
I would suggest to support 1.4 until it has finished the SUN EOL process.
(See for example the EOL statement on the 1.3.1 download page:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download.html )
This will force companies to upgrade if they don't want to pay additional support fees.

    How do I deauthorize the use of itunes on computers which have crashed and are not accessible??

    Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but if you have 2 or more computers authorised then you can log into your account on your computer's iTunes (Store > View My Account) and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.
    Deauthorising a computer doesn't remove any content from it, it just means that you can't use iTunes content on it until you reauthorise it.

    Hi Frank!
    you should catch your save-event and after saving put the following line:
    oMatrix.Columns.Item(4).Cells.Item(lstRowIndex + 1).Click(SAPbouiCOM.BoCellClickType.ct_Regular);
    that's it!

    How can I cancel the using of "only calls for emergency?"

    In the USA, you cannot.  I believe it is an FCC requirement that all cell phones be enabled to dial 911, even if they do not have an active contract or prepaid service assigned to them.

  • TS1567 I have an old ipod nano. How do I download the songs I purchased from itunes onto my older ipod?

    How do I download the songs I purchased from itunes onto my older ipod nano...I believe it is a 2nd generation? I plug it into my computer, but nothing happens!!!

    Hello shay82578,
    It sounds like you are trying to sync music from iTunes to your iPod nano.  I found some articles with steps to sync music to your iPod:
    If you are using iTunes 11, you will want to follow the steps in this article:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
    If you are using an earlier version of iTunes, you can follow the steps in this article:
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
    To be able to sync music from iTunes to your iPod nano, the music will need to be on the computer rather than streaming from iTunes in the Cloud.  You can find the steps to download your purchased music to your computer's hard drive under the section titled, "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer" in the following article:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. 
    Best,

  • How do I eliminate the use and creation of big files in the profile - places.sqlite, urlclassifier3.sqlite, places.sqlite-wal?

    I want to eliminate the use and creation of big files in the profile - places.sqlite (10MB), urlclassifier3.sqlite (5MB), places.sqlite-wal (1MB)?
    Ffor urlclassifier, I tried disabling safebrowsing options (in security menu or in about:config), but file remains. Also if deleted it is still re-created with 5 MB.

    Start at http://www.mozilla.com and download the latest
    version. '''At the completion of the download don't let the setup start Firefox for you, when the setup ends, start Firefox in your normal manner this way you will be less likely to create a new profile.'''
    The extra startup pages are temporary -- read them. The next time
    Firefox comes up you should be back to starting with your normal home page.
    '''Note: Firefox must be down once the install starts. '''
    Close Firefox with File>Exit. Then make sure Firefox is not running --
    On Windows: check the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.
    '''On Mac: Firefox > Quit then Command+option+Esc, if Firefox running use Force quit'''
    Permission errors on Mac:
    '''If you were getting permission errors on a Mac, download the latest
    Firefox version, then uninstall and reinstall Firefox. Do not remove
    your profile directories and files as they contain your settings,
    bookmarks, history, extensions, passwords, and cookies.'''
    in any case once you are on 4.0 you might want to take a look at "(fx4)"

  • How do I regain the use of an earlier library in iPhoto '08?

    To rebuild my iPhoto Library I thought I had to hold down the Option key when starting iPhoto and did so. It resulted in making a new library. Now, I'm not sure what to do next because opening it shows that I have no photos in it. The Library Manager Folders shows my earlier Libraries and the new one. I want to use the library that I tried to rebuild.
    How do I select and use the earlier library?
    Thanks for your help, information, and suggestions.

    Thanks for your help - I'll try to explain as much as I can recall the steps I took: I had imported photos, created a new library which I thought had all of the photos imported from two other older libraries and used the library manager to select the new iphoto library. I then deleted the other libraries through the library manager (at least I thought I was in the library manager while doing that). And now, the next day, when I opened iPhoto, I found it contained no photos!
    Is there any way I can retrieve the library which had the photos? I used spotlight and found 4 libraries but there were'nt any photos in any of the libraries.

  • How can I regain the use of my Firefox 3.6.22 browser?

    After updating my Wise Stamp and My Points plugins I was unable to open my F.F. browser. In the upper left corner it first says "loading" but then changes to "restore session" and refuses to open.
    I'm using an Imac intel core duo os 10.4.11, Firefox 3.6.22
    I was advised to upgrade my os to Snow Leopard but I want to avoid that if at all possible. Would welcome suggestions as to how to regain the use of my Firefox 3.6.22 Browser. Thought I could fix the problem by reinstalling it but the same problem persists.

    Whilst you could use Firefox 3.6.0 that is not secure and a security risk therefore can not be recommended. It is likely the earlier version only really differs because of security patches. (see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/3.6/releasenotes/ to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/3.6.22/releasenotes/ )
    If you do have security software it is likely to allow a specific version of firefox, and may block other versions as being unrecognised.
    I do not see why Firefox 3.6.22 can not be used. It should open on your system. Have you got security software that may be blocking changes or new installations. Or maybe if you have been using an insecure version, and do not have security software then it is conceivable the problem is because of malware.
    Try a clean reinstall of firefox 3.6.22, involving deleting the program files but not the profile files, and consider also trying a new clean profile (create an additional profile, do not delete the existing one - you would loose valuable information).

  • How do I program the use of Z index on a database table

    Hello friends,
    I need an example of an ABAP  program where the use of a customer defined index (, i.e. Z**) on a DB table is forced.
    I do not want to use primary index. I've created an index and I want to use / force my own index in the program.
    Any ideas please?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    As per my knowledge Nothing to specify as secondary index in program.

  • How do I prevent the use of a digital signature?

    I realize this flies in the face of some core security issues built into PDFs, but here we go...
    We have a customer for whom we are creating fillable PDF forms.  Due to the nature of the documents, they require handwritten signatures on printed hard copy.  Since the ability to digitally sign any PDF is enabled by default, and especially since Acrobat Reader X apparently prompts the user to use a digital signature, our customer is concerned that some end-users (most of whom will be non-tech-savvy) will be confused by the digital signature concept and would prefer to prevent the use of digital signatures at all.  I have played with the security settings in Acrobat Pro, but they are not granular enough to allow filling in a form without also allowing a digital signature.  Any way to prevent signing?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    @George Johnson:
    I tried to edit and save the form from within Acrobat Standard X, but it didn't seem to make any difference.
    @brogers_1:
    I am not familiar with EchoSign, but since the end-users are not part of my organization, nor my customer's, I won't have access to their registry settings.
    I don't want DigSigs at all.
    There is no signature field in the document--unless it is somehow hidden. 
    When a user either left- or right-clicks any form field (in Reader X at least), a window pops up titled "Form Can Be Filled and Signed Electronically" with a note to click "Sign" etc.:
