Which Java for Lion?

What version of Java is currently the best for OS 10.7.xx Lion?

You can use Java 6 from Apple website or Java 7 from Oracle. Java has got a lot of security problems, so use it only if you need it

    Restart your Mac before trying to download the file.
    Do you have anti virus software installed or a program like LIttle Snitch?
    If you are using Safari to download files, go to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    If that doesn't help, back to the menu bar, click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes then click Reset.
    If you still can't download the Java file, go to ~ / Library / Caches / com.apple.Safari
    Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash and restart your Mac. Try downloading that file again.
    If it still won't download without that dialog, go to ~/Library/Safari. Move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
    Try again.

  • What version JAVA for Lion?

    Apparently I have "Apple" JAVA version 1.6.0.37 on my Mac, which was last updated June, 2011. Firefox says this plugin is up to date, but they call it Version 14.5.0..
    JAVA.com however says my plugin in not up to date for Lion and that I need Version 7, update 9.
    Who's right, and should I update? Thanks.

    I've not used Picasa in quite a while but I assumed the OP wants to do more than copy and paste a rectangular selection from one photo to another. I figured something more along the lines of selecting a person from one photo and placing it into the other was the idea. The last version of Picasa couldn't do that.

  • How to make changes to Java for Lion

    Forgive me, I am not experienced with Java Applets or the website I am mentioning in this post. I am asking for another person and have only been able to run tests and theories this evening.
    It seems that the most recent Java upgrade has caused some issues with runescape.com Several Mac users at the site are reporting the same issue. When attempting to log into runescape an applet requests permission to access the computer. Actually, the warning window pops open and closed so quickly I have not been able to capture the text in it. Next, a Java Applet opens in the Dock and another warning/certificate window opens where the user can choose to Deny or Accept the certificte. Prior to the update the applet was handled within Safari. Apparently there were no additional steps to logging in. I recognize that Lion does not provide a Java runtime by default so I am wondering if changing that setting would enable runtime to do its thing without having to go through several approvals. The Java Applet runs anywhere from 28% to 100% (and sometimes more—I don't undestand that) of the CPU.
    Alas, this is still not the main issue at play. Apparently the applet causes the application/website to respond v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y Is there a way to achieve the same speeds that were available prior to the update? Ideas that I have been floating have been to downgrade from the present Lion/Java combination to Snow Leopard and the penultimate version of Java (next question: where can update 5 be downloaded). I have tried to install previous versions of Java but none are available for the Lion OS. Another option is to deny the applet and the user is taken to an alternate login page. The page loads the applet in Safari but there are severe limitations to the game (reported to me—I have no basis to compare). So what the user gets in speed is limited by the fact that they can only play in "one world".
    In summary, my questions are this:
    Does someone have a workaround for the Java Applet slowdown for this game, Runescape?
    Is there a downgrade option available for Java in Lion? (my searching has not found one)
    Is there a way to change the default runtime setting? (I have read at least one post where the user tried to edit settings in Java Preferences and they did not stick but they might not have restarted their browser)

    Hi,
    ITS i dont have an idea but from portal we can do CTRL+RIGHT CLICK AND WE CAN HIDE THE FIELD.
    Try the same in ITS in the iview out put.
    Thre are some tables where we can hide some fields for old ESS/MSS packages.
    Try that.
    If we are using portal we can go for NWDI ALSO.
    Thanks,

  • 2 versions of Numbers 2.02 and Numbers 09. Which one for Lion?

    How do I delete the wrong one?

    Version 2.1 is the late one but, as far as I know, version 2.0.5 behave flawlessly under Lion.
    It's a good choice for those which dislike AutoSave & Versions.

  • Which java for OS X 10.9

    6 from apple or 7 from oracle?
    setting up a new macbook pro. apple recommends installing java 7 from oracle for 10.9. launching illustrator brings up a dialog to install java 6 from apple. I've read that illustrator will not recognize java 7. what is the best option? stick with 6? can 7 be made to work? is 7 more secure? install both?
    thanks,
    David

    Restart the machine with the Command and S keys held down, and type the following commands into the prompt in order:
    mount -uw /
    cd /Users/username/Library/
    mv Preferences/ OldPrefs/
    exit
    When done, your computer should start up and log in normally. Replace username with the short name of your normal user account; if you've moved your home folder, change the path to point to the home folder's location. The command sequence needs to be entered exactly as specified, including spacing and capitalization. After doing this, some of your account's preferences will be reset to the defaults.

  • Which java for ADS?

    Hey guys,
    We are looking at implementing ADS (adobe document server) - however - are currently running ECC6 (no java stack).
    We are under the impression that all we need the WEBAS to do this.. however, noticed webas is only valid to release 630 - if we go to netweaver 7 2004s - I belive we get webas  640. (is this the newest compatible version)?
    My qustion is, what is the best java platform to install ADS - if they are only going to use this..  Is Netweave 7 2004s recommended, or should we stick with webas 630? 
    Thanks everyone
    Richard

    Hello Richard,
    ECC6 and Netweaver 04s is 700 based system, you will need an J2EE with Version 700 to use the ADS.
    In rel 700 the ADS is already included in the J2EE standard installation.
    Best regards,
    Dezso Pap

  • Java for OS X Lion vs ibank

    I have a problem with ibank, I installed Java for OS X Lion, for testing it works, but when I go into ibank, pops up a window that: For a normal future work you have to install a new version of Sun Java Plugin 1.4.0 or older. Install now (version 1.6.10, size 4MB) and continue to work?
    But when I install a recomended version of Java for Lion - the same window pops up on and on.
    Can you give me a solution, please?

    Same as in "java -version" in Terminal
    java version "1.6.0_31"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_31-b04-414-11M3626)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.6-b01-414, mixed mode)
    Since I can't find any trace of logs for the manual install I want to make sure that components that failed to download via Software Update were correctly installed by the dmg.

  • HT1338 does anyone know how to get Java for OS X Mountain Lion working?

    I updated to OS X Mountain Lion and some of the game at (Pogo.com) that use Java are not working. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance

    Open up Java Preferences and it will offer to download and install Java for you.
    Otherwise you can open up a Terminal and type:
    java -version
    Which will do the same thing.

  • I bought a MBPro which came with Lion installed,i also wanted to have a copy of installation disc so i used mac app store.Normally if an app is already bought there is a warning or a sign that informs the buyer.I've charged for this download is it normal?

    Hi ,i bought a MacBookPro which came with Lion installed on it (i have registered my mac book pro right after i bought it), i also wanted to have a copy of the installation disc in case of a crash, so i used mac app store to get it.Normally if an app is already bought (for iphone app store) there is a warning or a sign that informs the buyer, than the app store lets the buyer to re-download/re-install the app.I've charged for this download afterwards, because i was using virtual credit card, there was not enough money transferred to that card during that download but the app store let me download it anyway. I haven't charged before the download, the app store first let me to download it then it requested that amount of money for next download wich it was a free app. Can anybody enlight me? thanks

    Hi ...
    i also wanted to have a copy of the installation disc in case of a crash
    If you have problems with your Mac you use Lion Recovery
    However, you can create your own installation disc >  How to create an OS X Lion installation disc | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews
    Since Lion came pre installed on your Mac, the App Store doesn't not recognize that as a purchase so you if you want to re download Lion to create a boot disk you will have to pay for it. You can then re download Lion on all your authorized Macs for free.

  • Java 8 SE Embedded download - which version for my RPi?

    One thing I struggle with is knowing which download for my RPi. 
    I keep reading I should use the hard floating point version.  That said, here's the only Java 8 SE Embedded version I see with HardFP:  ARMv7 Linux - VFP, HardFP ABI, Little Endian1
    On my RPi, here's the output from "uname -a"
    > Linux bsrpi 3.10.34+ #661 PREEMPT Thu Mar 27 00:36:02 GMT 2014 armv6l GNU/Linux
    Will the HardFP version on the download page work on my RPi?   It appears to be arm6. 
    The only thing I see available with ARMv6 is:  ARMv6/7 Linux - VFP, SoftFP ABI, Little Endian2
    If you have the answer or even refer me to a good site that explains the differences, I'd be very grateful.  If not, I'll just keep pulling out my hair!  :-)
    Thanks for any help you have,
    Brent Stains

    I received help from Stephen Chin on this!  Thank you Steve.  You can see his excellent work here:  Steve On Java
    I also found some information from Hinkmond Wong's blog:  https://blogs.oracle.com/hinkmond/entry/even_quicker_guide_to_install
    I'm pasting a modified version of the conversation and information here for other wandering souls! 
    METHOD 1 - download & deploy, options for compact profiles
    Most Raspberry Pi distributions have been hard float for a while...  To check, look for the following file:
    /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf
    If this exists, you are running hard float.
    Once you have your Pi on a hard float build, grab the latest Java 8 from here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
    Grab the first one titled "jdk-8-linux-arm-vfp-hflt.tar.gz"
    For doing compact profile work to learn how SE Embedded is used (and compact profiles work) go to the downloads on this page:  http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/embedded/downloads/java-embedded-java-se-download-359230.html
    and start with this one:  ejdk-8-fcs-b132-linux-arm-vfp-hflt-03_mar_2014.tar.gz   (ARMv7 Linux - VFP, HardFP ABI, Little Endian)
    then use jrecreate to shrink it.
    METHOD 2 - use apt-get on the Raspberry Pi, full "embedded" version of the JDK
    From Linux command line >> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-jdk
    Note:  see Hinkmond's blog post and an excellent explanation in the comments section on the meaning of SE Embedded
    Enjoy!

  • Using Java for scripting in games - which technology to use?

    Hi, I'm currently in the process of implementing a java scripting implementation for a 3D game engine. Any suggestions on which java technology to use? It will handle high level game specific logic and a gui. So there will be a native implementation of awt created as well. I'm starting off with win32 and will port to mac and linux later.
    I'm thinking J2ME-CDC, but then theres CDLC, the personal edition, and so on. CDC and CDLC are nice since the jvm code is included but the CDC one needs to be ported to win32 (anyone already do this?)

    J2ME is designed for small consumer devices such as mobile phones, pda, pagers, set-top boxes and so on.
    You'r designing something for windows, mac and linux so I'd suggest standard edition rather than micro edition.
    I'm confused as to what you want to do though.
    Also, "porting" a java program shouldn't really be an issue (unless you've used lots of JNI or Runtime stuff).
    Basically though I don't really understand what you want to do, I did have some idea, but then you started talking about Micro Edition.
