Java for PowerBook G4 on Leopard??

Is there any chance there is a Java JDK (developing kit) for Leopard that still accepts PowerPC's? The new 1.6 versions only installs on Intel macs. I tried a older version but those will only install on OSX Tiger. I'm kinda in between =) Does anyone have a JDK running on your PB G4 with OSX Leopard? Please let me now

Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 10

HT4884 java for 10.6.8 is not working

my iMac says all software is up to date but websites that need java still say that i need to update to the latest version of java.

For OS 10.6.8, I found the latest Java update didn't work right, either. I restored full functionality by reinstalling Snow Leopard from the DVD, then updating to 10.6.8, plus updating Safari, etc, BUT NOT JAVA. Java works fine as long as you don't go too far with the updates: make sure they say they're for 10.6.x .
I think the problems begin with update 11, which seems to be tailored for OS 10.7 Lion and higher, but the installer doesn't check what OS you have before updating, nor is there any warning before you click install.

Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Actually, you cannot download Snow Leopard. You downloaded a Snow Leopard updater.

Java Update 5 (1.0) breaks Java for Volano based chats

I installed the Java Update 5 (1.0) for Leopard on my Intel based Mac mini and then was unable to enter Volano (Java applet) based chat rooms. I was forced to reinstall my system to revert to my prior version of System 10.5.8 in oder to be able to continue use the Java based Volano chats. The update that will NOT work states: "This release updates Java SE 6 to to version 1.6.0_1.5, J2SE 5.0 to version 1.5.0_20, and J2SE 1.4.2 to 1.4.2_22."
According to Volano developers -
Note that Apple calls Java 5 (version 1.5) "J2SE 5.0", while it calls Java 6 (version 1.6) "Java SE 6". I think I finally have the following chart correct:
J2SE 5.0 = Java 5 (version 1.5)
- Available as 32-bit and 64-bit packages in Leopard
- Removed in Snow Leopard
Java SE 6 = Java 6 (version 1.6)
- Available only as 64-bit packages in Leopard
- Available as 32-bit & 64-bit packages in Snow Leopard
In Leopard, the 32-bit Safari can run Java applets only with the 32-bit
J2SE 5.0 support. To run applets using Java SE 6, you need to bypass
Safari using the "appletviewer" Terminal command in Leopard, or upgrade
to Snow Leopard where Safari can run Java SE 6.
Volano says the possible work arounds for Leopard users (10.5.8( are:
According to what I've read, if you have a 64-bit capable Intel processor (i.e., an Intel Core 2 Duo), the software update that you removed should have given you 64-bit Java SE 6 even on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5). Java SE 6 works fine with the VOLANO applets, but unfortunately the Safari browser that runs the applets is only 32-bit on Leopard, so applets in Safari still run with the 32-bit Java SE 5 instead of the 64-bit Java SE 6.
So you have three options to solve the problem -- two free options (one rather easy, one more difficult), and one easy non-free option.
(1) The Free and Relatively Easy Option
If you have an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (not a Core Solo or Core Duo), you can install all the software updates from Apple so that you'll have the 64-bit Java SE 6.
About Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 2 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2733 "Java SE 6 is available on 64-bit, Intel-based Macs only."
You would then modify your Java Preferences so that Java SE 6 is chosen first for the Java Application Runtime settings. You can verify the modified setting by running the following "java -version" command from the Terminal application (Finder > Applications > Utilities > Terminal):
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02-279-10M3065)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.3-b01-279, mixed mode)
There are some more detailed instructions here:
Install Java 6 on Mac OS X Leopard
http://gephi.org/users/install-java-6-mac-os-x-leopard/
Then you can bypass Safari and run the applet directly in the 64-bit Java SE 6 using the "appletviewer" command in Terminal. For example:
$ appletviewer http://www.actionchat.com/chat/english.shtml
You just put the URL of the page containing the VOLANO chat applet you want to load. I just tried it on my system, and it works fine. You bypass Java SE 5, which is broken for the VOLANO applets, and you bypass Safari, which cannot run the 64-bit Java SE 6. Instead, you run the VOLANO applet using your Java SE 6 directly!
(2) The Free and Not-So-Easy Option
You can download and install SoyLatte as an alternative to the Apple Java VM for your Mac OS X Leopard system.
SoyLatte: Java 6 Port for Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 (Intel)
http://landonf.bikemonkey.org/static/soylatte/
I have not tried SoyLatte on my iMac, though.
(3) The Best but Non-Free Option
For only $29, you can upgrade your system to the latest Snow Leopard and get both the 32-bit and 64-bit Java SE 6 along with a Safari Web browser that works with Java SE 6 for running applets!
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MACOS_XSNGL
I hope this information is of help to any Leopard users having trouble with the latest Java update.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Please bear in mind that this issue, presumably introduced by Apple's own update, affects not only the command line java interpreter but any other app that depends on Java (including some GUI apps). So it perhaps fits the larger scope of Leopard instead of the Unix area.

Java 1.5 in Snow Leopard

So Java 1.5 is deleted from Snow Leopard as I have just found out, to my cost.
I have a Java application that requires Java 1.5 in order not to crash randomly (Oxygen-XML) and, more seriously, I do Java development work for platforms where 1.5 is required.
Is there any official way to get it back? Or do I need to retrieve it from a Leopard installation?

Does this help/apply?

This was the last Java update for Leopard from Apple:
Update 10, 29 June 2011 - This release updates J2SE 5.0 to 1.5.0_30, and updates Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_26. J2SE 1.4.2 is no longer being updated to fix bugs or security issues and remains disabled by default in this update. Support for out-of-process Java applets on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard has been removed with this update.
This release is only for Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later versions of Mac OS X 10.5. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1359
Since August 2012 updates for Java (and especially Java Runtime Environment, which is what you actually need) must now be downloaded direct from Oracle:

What's going on? What should I do?

I am unable to install this update. Does anyone have any advice? I have always had weird issues when it comes to updating. Currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Error message is this:

Software update 14 Java for Mac 10.6.8 gave me 27 permissions errorsI found 29 permissions errors.Disk Utility and Onyx cannot repair.

first time I contact Apple Support Communities
I have re-installed Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro(permissions = ok) and each Software update proposed by Apple.
After each software update installation, I have checked the permissions being ok.
But after install update 14 Java for Mac OS X 10.6.8 (proposed by Apple), I found 27 permissions errors. Disk Utility as well as Onyx cannot repair. (in fact they repair and if you check again you still have those 27 permissions errors)
It concern mainly System/library/Java/Java Virtual Machine + System/Library/Framewoks/JavaVM.Framework and System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.Bundle
Do you have an idea how to get rid of those 27 permissions errors.
Thanks in advance
claude533

As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.
Poster rccharles has provided this description of what it all means:
drwxrwxrwx
d = directory
r = read
w = write
x = executeable program
drwxrwxrwx
| | |
| | all other users not in first two types

| group

owner
a little more info
Before the user had read & write. A member of the group had read.
After, only the user had read & write.

Installing Java 1.5 on Snow Leopard Problem

I followed this link (http://chxor.chxo.com/post/183013153/installing-java-1-5-on-snow-leopard) to resolve a problem with getting some software to run...
But when it came to trying to open the app it opened Terminal and came up with this message...

It then opened Java, I waited a long time and found it wasn't responding. Any ideas?

Post to the Unix forum under OS X Technologies. BTW, review the steps in http://daveyshafik.com/archives/721-fixing-zde-5-5-in-snow-leopard.html and ensure that you did it correctly.

Deinstall Java for OS X

Hi all,
some time ago I installed Java for Mavericks from Java for OS X 2014-001
Now I need to install a least Java Version 1.7 because I would like to use Netbeans 8. As I don't need version 1.6 anymore I would like to deinstall that. I couldn't find any information on how to do that. Does anybody know how to deinstall Java for OS X?
Thanks in advance!

Unnecessary, since you can have both installed. To install SE 7, DL jre-7u60-macosx-x64.dmg and install it.

HT202822 I need Java for OS X 2013-005 - where do I get it?

A key website for me has updated its Java requirements as of today. For some reason Java is not in evidence on my iMac, although it seemed to be doing its job until today. The catch is that I'm on Snow Leopard, which I realize Apple no longer supports. I'd still like to try installing the final Java Snow Leopard update (I know, it's a long shot) but it's not available through Software Update and I can't find it on the Apple site.
Suggestions welcome — but preferably not a lecture that I should be on Yosemite.

Yes, you're likely correct. The version of Java for Snow Leopard is too old to function correctly with that site.
When you have Yosemite installed, pick up Java 8 from Oracle (Apple stopped altering Oracle's Java to work with OS X after version 6). The latest version, unbelievably, installs adware if you aren't paying attention. Or at least it did. I downloaded it again just now, and the adware option is gone. I don't know if that means it now installs the adware without giving you a check box (as it did before) to opt out, or if Oracle was deluged with angry emails and phone calls asking just what in the he** they thought they were doing.
