Upgrading Java

Hi I'm fairly new to macs myself, so don't shoot me.
Background.
I have a machine that operates in non-internet connected LAN environment. These machines are required to be scanned by the InfoSec team, which is done via SSH. There is a local account, with administrative rights, established for this purpose. A recent scan identified the installed version of Java to have a critical security issue. I've downloaded the update from the web site (Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 3). I've installed the update.
Problem.
The scanner reports 'JAVA FULL VERSION 1.5...'
If I run 'java -showversion' from a terminal, I get 'java full version 1.6 ...'
If I log in via ssh (as the scanner does) and run the 'java -showversion', I get 'JAVA FULL VERSION 1.5...'
Ok. I'm lost. I've run the update as admin: no joy. I've renamed the /Library.../java directory and /System/Library.../java directory to ...'java.old' (should be removed ????). So with every directory I can locate named 'java' renamed to 'java.old' and a reboot, I'd expect that doing a 'java - showversion' should fail completely, but it doesn't.
Second (related) issue: shouldnt the update .dmg file correctly update java? Why is a vulnerable version presented to an ssh user?

We don't shoot! LOL New to Macs... Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try repairing disk permissions. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.
Try deleting these files.
com.apple.java.javaPreferences.plist
com.apple.java.util.prefs.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.
In Safari from the Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Select the Security tab. Where you see
Web Content, make sure the top three boxes are selected.

can anyone help?Search the bugs database to see if someone else already reported this; if not create a new bug entry. Whatever mistake you could make, you should not be getting a NullPointerException as a result so this is at the very least a bug in the error handling of webstart.
But just some observations to try and see if you can make a difference (which is added input for your bug report). If I check JNLP examples, I see that the url specified is usually without a protocol, so it could be like this:
<jar href="/resources/applet/formeditor.jar" />The JNLP should be on the host that you service the jar from, so Webstart can fill in the host information for itself.
Also you provide a main-class; if the jar manifest specifies a main-class (and it should) you don't need to specify it in your JNLP file.

HT202822 Upgrading Java 1.6 to 1.8

Hello,
I need to upgrade Java 1.6 to 1.8 (I have trouble with a third party application called Wuala which could be a Java issue).
In terminal, when I enter "java -version", I get the answer :
     java version "1.6.0_65"
     Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-462-11M4609)
     Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-462, mixed mode)
In About this Mac -> System Report, I see that I have Java for OS X 2013-005 installed.
When I try to install Java 8 Update 40 from www.java.com (Oracle Java), I get the message :
     A newer version of Java is already installed.
     You are trying to install 1.8.40.25, however 14.9.0 is already installed.
     Visit java.com/newerversionexists for more information.
As I could understand, 14.9.0 is Apple numbering for java 1.6.
On java.com/newerversionexists, I found no useful information.
I am unable to uninstall Java 1.6 from my Mac. Could anybody help ? Thanks,

Hello Eric,
Thanks for your answer.
Although the page your message points to deals with uninstalling Oracle Java 7 and above, I tried it.
I had no JavaAppletPlugin.plugin under Applications/, but I had one under /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/.
So, I sent /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin (a symlink) to the Trash from the Finder (which was not exactly what was described).
Then in terminal, when I entered "java -version", I still got the answer :
     java version "1.6.0_65"
     Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-462-11M4609)
     Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-462, mixed mode)
But when I tried to install Java 8 Update 40 from www.java.com (Oracle Java), it worked !
Yet again in terminal, when I enter "java -version", I still get the answer :
     java version "1.6.0_65"
     Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-462-11M4609)
     Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-462, mixed mode)
Apparently I now have 2 versions of Java at the same time.
Curiously, I have no place in Safari's Preferences where I can set "Enable Java", but the Java test on java.com worked.
Curiously also, I don't have any Java icon under System Preferences.
And the problem I had with Wuala still remains...
Nevertheless, thanks a lot for helping.
Regards,
PS : Sorry for the fonts in this message, I don't know how to change them.

Unable to upgrade java components through JSPM tool for ECC 6.0 system

Hello All,
We are upgrading JAVA components to SP-STACK 12 for our system GD0(ECC
6.0 TWS ),and we were struck in the middle(only few components have been deployed and for others it is throwing error).
The error it throws from /SDM/program/log/ is
"Cannot login to the SAP J2EE Engine using user and password as providedin the Filesystem Secure Store. Enter valid login information in the
Filesystem Secure Store using the SAP J2EE Engine Config Tool. For more
information, see SAP note 701654."
And for this I followed note#701654 and updated the password of admin in Filesystem Secure Store and restarted the J2ee server ,even after doing
all this steps also still we are facing the same problem.
Currently when I try to login into J2ee engine through URL
:(<host>:<port>) it displays "Application you have requested is stoped",and when I check throw jcmon all three were under running
status(dispatcher,server0,sdm)
Kindly advise me on this..as I am struck in halfway..

Hello Nirmal,

Upgrade Java version in DB server.

Hi,
in my db server current version is:
[root@prod-db /]#java -version
java version "1.4.2"
To install TSM for oracle (tape backup) i was asked by SA to update server java version to jre1.7.0_07. But i have never done any work like this. Can any one help??

user8983130 wrote:

Actually i don't want to touch oracle/oracle software , i just want to upgrade java without hampering my oracle.Then you need to update the Java version installed in the o/s - and ignore what is installed in Oracle as that is not relevant to your problem.
What do you have installed? What Java components do you need?
You can check what is installed and available using the yum command. Basic Java can be installed using the java-<version>-openjdk.x86_64 package I think.
This is not a database question though, and I suggest that you either re-post your question to the {forum:id=822} forum, or that a moderator moves this posting there.

DPS6.3 upgrade Java to 1.6 on T1 cpu

I'm running DPS6.3 on T2000 servers (8 core, 4 core). JDK is 1.5 from JES installation. When I try to upgrade Java to JDK 1.6 I got error at dps start <instance>:
# dpadm start <instance>
waitpid(/usr/jdk/entsys-j2se/jre/bin/java): No such file or directory
The Directory Proxy Server instance '<instance>' failed to start as it failed to detect whether password is required or not.
ld.so.1: java: fatal: libjli.so: open failed: No such file or directory
Under /usr/jdk is entsys-j2se symbolic link targeted to /usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0/ from installation.
When I change it to: /usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.6.0 I got thos error message on screen and DPS doesn't start.
I've tried it on V240 (sun4u system) and also on Linux (i386) and did not happened.
Anyone experienced similar/same?
thanks in advance,
Tomas

Update:
Actually this happens on each platform/OS when DPS runs under non-root user. Some problems with SUID.

My Upgrading Java Applets Cache won't finish

I had to reinstall Java 6.0 and each time I try to run something requiring Java, it doesn't load. All I get is a box stating Upgrading Java Applets Chache, it runs about half way and then quits. I am getting very frustrated after working on this for 2 days.
It says "Please wait while your stored Java Applets are updated for Java SE 6". Runs for about 20 secs and then stops and the box disappears. Does anybody have any suggestions? I am not very computer savvy so please explain in simple terms.
Thanks

Hi
I had the exact same problem. took me days to find the solution, hope it works for you.
Click on the START button bottom left on the screen, Then look for the CONTROL PANEL button and click, (this should bring up lots of icons for programmes) on some computers its under themes and sttings I think. Click on the JAVA icon this brings up a CONTROL PANEL. Click on SETTINGS at the bottom, then click DELETE FILES. (this took a while to complete on my computer) Just to make sure after you've done this bring up the JAVA CONTROL PANEL again but this time click on ADVANCED. Then at the bottom theres is Miscellaneous, click on this and there should be JAVA QUICK STARTER with a box ticked next to it, Click on the tick and get rid of it then click on OK..
Try a website that uses Java. the cache box might appear again but just hit cancel. When I tried this i was able to use Java again.
Hope it works

Re: Upgrading java for database

Linc, the resident dump guru, will probably be along in awhile and provide deeper insights, but here goes for now. I'm seeing an awful lot of warnings and messages from Chrome. Any chance you could lay off that browser for awhile and use Safari in the meanwhile? No red messages anywhere in the listing. Have you tried rebooting into Mountain Lion Recovery Mode to do a Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions?

How to upgrade Java 6 to the latest release on Mac Mountain Lion?

Not able to find the option to upgrade Java 6 to the latest Java 6 version (37) on Mac 10.8.2. Can somebody please tell me that from where I can do that?
Thanks

It should be installed automatically through Software Update (ie, the App Store's Update tab), if you have Java installed. Java is not installed by default in Mountain Lion, however. If you don't have Java, you can try to open the Java Preferences app (in /Applications/Utilities) to be prompted to install it. Note, though, that the current version of Java from Apple no longer includes a web applet plug-in. If you need that, you'll need to install Java 7 from Oracle.
For more information, including why you need to be cautious about using Java online, see Using Java in Mac OS X.

Trouble upgrading Java 5.0

Hello,
I went to download the new upgrade to 10.4 Java, release 5.
It would not let me install R5. The message I got was:
"Please run Software Update to get the latest Java before installing this upgrade."
I ran it. Nothing was added. So I downloaded release 3. It also gave me the same requesters. So I downloaded release 1, and it installed. I rebooted, went to upgrade w/ release 3, and I got the Software Update requester again.
Is there a release 2? Why won't 10.4 let me upgrade Java?
Thank you.

Regarding your original download problem, this may be of an update which you are looking for (Java for Mac OS X 10.3 Update 5) :
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/javaformacosx103update5.html
I hope you have already succeeded to update "Security Update 2007-002 (Panther)" :
http://www.apple.com/support/downloadssecurityupdate2007002panther.html
As for interpreting vulnerability info, it means someone can remotely execute malicious code on Java implemented functions on your system by using his/her bad Java applets.

Upgrade Java Swing Project

Hi Everyone,
I am looking forward for some guidance from all you guys here.
I have been assigned the work of upgrading Java Swing project. The upgrading also involved some improvements in look and feel of the tool.
Currently the tool looks very simple/basic and needs some good over-haul.
As basically I am a J2EE guy, I dont have much idea about the Swing Open-source API's that I can utilize for the same.
If anyone has good idea about the API's that can be utilized or suggestions for the improvement of the tool look wise then please let me know.
Thanks,
Gaurav

The discussion below is devoted to the creation of a Synth look and feel using an external XML file. Creating a Synth L&F programatically is discussed in the API documentation."
There are also a number of existing custom PLAFs. E.G. See this excellent summary at SO on the thread Look and feel in java.

Is mindad media legitimate, I get a persistent pop up that wants me to upgrade java?

I am continually getting a window from Mindad Media that wants me to upgrade Java. Is this legit?

hello TurtleBay, this sounds like a problem caused by adware on your pc.
please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove "Better Surf Plus 1.1" from there.
<br>also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
<br>finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].
