JRE 8 and Locale.setDefault(), java 8 update 5, Windows 7

Hello,
I have simple question that i can't resolve.
I am working on JavaFX application in which I am using DatePicker. This part is not important.
My date picker is formating date based on my Windows 7 OS Regional and Language settings(Formats).
This part is now relevant:
In order to try to make my app Regional independant, and show date format always as US, I only once used this line of code:
Locale.setDefault(Locale.ENGLISH);
Here is problem:
Now when I remove this line of code "Locale.setDefault(Locale.ENGLISH)" my application is no longer able to get Regional format from my Windows 7 OS Regional and Language settings(Formats). Locale informations are permanently lost in JVM. Things are even worse, because my JDBC connection is not working now, and it reports:
java.sql.SQLException: Locale not recognized
at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CTTIoauthenticate.setSessionFields(T4CTTIoauthenticate.java:1006)...
How can I revert to old JVM behaviour, and get Locale information from my Windows 7 OS Regional and Language settings(Formats) automatically? Any help?
The application now is only working when there is Locale.setDefault(Locale.ENGLISH); line in code.

I am constantly using JRE8. Now
Locale.getDefault(Locale.Category.DISPLAY) returns en_US which is OK
and
Locale.getDefault(Locale.Category.FORMAT)? returns bs_BA_#Latin witch is something I set wrongly with my Locale.setDefault.
I think that this bs_BA_#Latin. How can I repair this and make JRE8 read Locale settings from regional settings?
Many thx

For those who run Windows 8 with bootcamp: Do you update windows 8, with windows update? I have the latest bootcamp drivers, and never checked for updates on windows. Do you normally update windows 8?

Windows 8 has been running very well after installing it with bootcamp and its latest drivers.
I just have never updated Windows 8 itself, (windows has never checked for updates), and just has been
using it bare. Do you update windows 8 to the latest updates with windows 8, and have any problems
with the updates? Just curious before I start updating it for once.

You have to update Windows to the latest version with Windows Update and keep it updated, because this is a matter of security. Microsoft provides a lot of security updates and you have to install them even if you have got an antivirus. Then you can find other updates, and if you want to install Windows 8.1, just install all updates with Windows Update, and then go to the Windows Store and download Windows 8.1.
Apple says that Windows 8.1 is not supported by Boot Camp, but people say it works without any problem with the most recent drivers, so I do not find any risk after upgrading to Windows 8.1.

HT1338 I just purchased a MacBookPro and wonder if it "updates" like Windows platform will offer? Class suggested to download java 6 Oracle...just asking...

I am new to this MacBook Pro laptop. I seems to have problems figuring things out....like Mail...where to put files like in Windows (or in AOL -was on there for a long time and now use .me).
I also wonder about the updates...the school I am looking at mentioned downloading Java 6 Oracle...how do I find out if I already have it? I tried to download it, and I got a little box that just highlighted 'software updates' from Finder...? and I am in general pretty clueless as to what all this machine does.
Help!!!
Thanks....Mona

From your "Go" menu choose "Go to folder" copy & paste this...
/Applications/Utilities
Press return
In that folder find the Java Preferences.app and launch it. You should be prompted to install Java 6.

Auto upgrade jre and auto retain java.policy

Hello,
I need to automatically update clients with jre 1.4.2_07 and also retain the existing java.policy from the previous version (1.4.2_04). I have the jre installation kicking off correctly (with IE and XP) using
codebase = "http://myserver/jinstall-1_4_2_07-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,4,2,70"
but I also need to use my existing java.policy before the rest of the applet loads.
I am not familiar with cab files, but is it possible to add a subsequent step to the jre install which would replace the generic java.policy with my specific java.policy? or any other way ??
Thanks, Sari

I just updated my Mac OSX to Yosemite. I'm using PS5.1 extended. I've dl'd and installed the Java update, as recommended, but Photoshop still refuses to open. HELP!

I just updated my Mac OS to Yosemite. Every other program is working fine, but not Photoshop. I've tried everything mentioned in the forums, including updating the JAVA program, a restart and still PS will not open, giving me a "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has just occurred. Photoshop will now exit." warning. HELP! I rely very heavily on this program and my attempts to obtain help from Adobe have been utterly futile.

Reinstall Photoshop CS5 to replace the files damaged by the MacOS 10.10 installer.

USB device failures and need to re-update under Windows 7 / Satellite A505

I'm having a devil of a time trying to get access again to a set of devices which worked fine under Vista-32 and backward..
Recent self-repaired problem, The laptop refused to accept a Garmin eTrex GPS via any other USB port except port 1 (the top-left port).. Attempts to attach it via ports 2 or 3, resulted in failure to read device, and Windows Device Manager reported the GPS asn an unknown device. The fix to get it to accept the device on these ports, required uninstalling the driver to those two ports (plugging the device into either of those ports, when seen by Device manager, uninstall the device, unplug it, the plug it back in again.) result now, all 3 ports will now accept the gps.
Now, an old device failure.. I have 3 different Prolific USB to Serial (rs-232C) adaptor cords, for connecting to older serial devicees. (older GPS's, external older computers, robotics projects, etc.) as of yet, the above remove/replace method will not allow connection of these cables (yes, using the supplied drivers, and a few generic found online from Prolific themselves) and, likewise refuse to access the devices connected to them.
There is one other device, which uses another form of USB to serial (FTDI Chip, device is the Arduino microcontroller, which uses the FTDI D2xx chip to connect via USB) I'm surprised, is actualy in the installed Windows-7 driver library, as well as a Microchip PIC18C745 (Vellaman P8055 project board) (also native device under Windows-7)
I've tried to find a reliable Prolific driver, but as of yet, these devices (Including one used in Microsoft's labeled version of the Pharos GPS500 dongle, which is sold with Microsoft Streets & Trips 2009 (The driver for this one, on other computers has caused system crashes.. Even under Vista & XP)
Is this a problem with the laptop itself, or Windows-7 that I'm fighting?

Local Adobe flash updater in Windows 7?

Is there an Adobe Flash updater located somewhere in Windows 7 that the Flash player can updated on the pc instead of haivng to go to Adobe.com?

If you have update notifications enabled (at http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.htm l), then you will be notified (with the updater) when a new FP version is available. Change the number of days to your preference.

Group policy for Silent Java updates

Hi,
all users in my network getting popup messages for Java updates which is king of annoying when they are working on something. none of them got admin rights so they can not update java.
i don't want to go to every computer when they got the popup and enter my credentials to allow update.
is there any easy method (may be GP) to allow java updates to install with out asking admin details and with out giving popup.
if i have to use scripting can some one assist me with the script ( i am a beginner with scripting).
thank you,
krishna
Krishna Gummadapu

Hi,
you have a few options.
a) give the users the admin rights, so they can update Java.
b) suppress the auto-update behaviour, so that Java never updates itself
c) deploy the updated Java software to your computers (optionally also suppress the auto-update behaviour), and maintain deploying Java updates to your computers, forever.
d) remove Java if it is not needed. Windows doesn't need Java, maybe some of your applications do need it.
For (c), there are many options available to you, including Group Policy Software Installation, Startup scripts, System Center Configuration Manager, and many non-MS products which can perform software distribution for you.
It can be a very similar challenge, for Adobe products, like FlashPlayer, AdobeReader, etc.
There are many examples on www.itninja.com (formerly known as appdeploy.com), and many scripts on gallery/codeplex and in various deployment-focused blogs.

Deploying Java Updates to Desktops

Hi I have followed the instructions
here to create and publish a Java update in SCUP 2011. This worked fine and the Java update is now showing in the All Software Updates container in SCCM 2012.
However, this update is now included as part of the Windows Updates for all machines on our network, including servers. Is there an easy way to ensure that this update is only downloaded on our desktop PCs? We have a Device Collection in SCCM
for desktops but I can't find a way of restricting the deployment of the update to just this collection.
Any advice would be gratefully received as I have only just taken over managing SCCM and still getting to grips with it!
Many thanks

Define "appearing in Windows Updates"?
If you are using ConfigMgr, updates are not made available via any built-in Windows Update functionality. Updates are deployed in ConfigMgr by creating software update groups and deploying them to targeted collections. If you have not done this, then the
update won't be deployed to any systems via ConfigMgr.

C855-S5190 restored via recovery to factory defaults, ran the Toshiba updater, no Windows Update

I'm desperately searching for help! My elderly father has a C855-S5190 and after trying the update to Windows 8.1 from the store, the laptop doesn't boot all the way up - kept giving various errors. So, he dropped if off for me to try to fix. I couldn't get around it so I did the restore to factory defaults from the restore disks.
After that all finished, I tried the Toshiba service station and it gave me about 7 updates that I installed. After that, I rebooted and then wanted to see about doing the Windows 8.1 update. Went to Windows Store - it says I need to do Windows Updates. I went to search, and now there's no Windows Update showing anywhere. I checked settings, and everything is empty under there as well. What happened??
If someone could tell me how I can possibly do the Windows Updates. I tried this once before trying the service center, the updates either fail, or they install, then it reboots, can't configure them, and gets stuck in a loop of trying to roll things back. That caused me to have to do another restore to factory defaults - I've had to do it 4 times so far, and I just don't want to get stuck in that loop again. So, I need to know what happened to my Windows Update, how do I get it back, and how the heck do I get this thing updated to 8.1?
I booted a Linux live media before starting and was able to recover the files, etc., he had on it to a USB flash drive since I knew doing the restore would wipe that all out.
Any and all input is GREATLE appreciated!!
Dave

Here's the link to the Microsoft page, I had to do this to get Windows Update to run. The Windows 8.1 upgrade would not let me do the upgrade until Windows Update was run, and I kept getting this error. It takes a *long* time for this to straighten out if you've done a factory defaults restore - several reboots, etc..

Take a look at the last comment on this page: http://community.spiceworks.com/how_...va-autoupdater
To run the script as admin you simple set it to run as dynamic administrator or secure system user under the advanced tab of your run script action.

Apple releases Java update for Mac OS X Tiger

Apple released J2SE 5.0 Release 4 on Tuesday, an update for Mac OS X 10.4.5 Tiger users. According to notes provided with the update the release delivers improved reliability and compatibility for the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0. With today's release J2SE 5.0 becomes the preferred Java version, superseding Java 1.4.2. Apple notes that Java 1.4.2 is still installed on the machine, but applications will run with J2SE 5.0 unless they specifically request Java 1.4.2. The update is available as a download from Apple's Web site
or via the Software Update mechanism in Mac OS X.

When I go to the DOWNLOADS Section of the Apple Support page and find the Java update, I see "(PPC)" next to it. Does that mean anything?

Update for Windows 7 (32-bit) (KB2952664) FAILED

Error Code: 80242016
During my Windows update I received the above error message while attempting the Update for Windows 7 (KB2952664).
I ran the Fixit program that was offered to me in the Help. I was not really able to identify what the exact cause of the problem is in the help however. It is not installing the update when I rerun Windows Update. Any help with this is appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks toondog, I went to:
Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > View installed updates
in Windows 7 x64, found the failed update in the "Microsoft Windows" category (it's easier to find if you order updates by descending date) then right-click and Uninstall. It appeared to uninstall because the entry disappeared, however when I refreshed
it the entry came back. Then I went to Windows Update and it found the update and I reinstalled and this time it was successful.
It's even easier to find if you enter KB2952664 in the "Search Installed Updates" box in the upper right corner of the Installed Updates window.
This is the only way that worked for me, although I had to do a Restart after uninstalling the update before Windows Update would let me try it again.
Toondog85's way—going through Windows Update instead of Programs and Features—didn't give me the option of uninstalling the update, but it was still basically the right solution to the problem.
