Apple Java for OS X 10.5		May 28 2009

PHILIP GONIA  Worked out how to get Java running within Safari.

In Java Preferences I selected Run Applets within Java Browser.

Java however is still broken within FireFox.

Also found this info about Java update 3.

Found this very interesting. Looks as though Java 6 on MAC OS X is broken. Oops!

What is described here is the same as what I am seeing but after installing on a new installation of MAC OS X "Leopard" (10.5.7)

Java 5 is all that will run!  
(Version Update 3)

***..

PHILIP GONIA  I just updated my Intel Dual-Core Mac Mini running OS X 10.5.7 with the Java 10.5 update 3 that I downloaded from the Apple Developer web site. Have the following issues which I thought important to share and which I am still looking for resolution of.

1.) Java not longer runs in either Safari or Fire Fox.

2.) The Default Java version after install is Java 5. (1.5) Not really a problem but when attempting to change via the Java Preferences app, Java remains at this same version.

Still looking for help in correcting this installation or backing it out. This is the first time I have ever had problems with a Java installation on the Mac.

MACFOOL  Those having problems subsequent to these updates should Safe Boot and run Repair Permissions in Disk Utility.

LEPPE  This is what you need to run Java in other browsers then Safari:

Here is some info from the project site:

The Java Embedding Plugin is a utility that allows other web browsers than Apple's Safari to use the most recent versions of Java on Mac OS X. When used together with an updated version of Mozilla's MRJ Plugin Carbon (included in this distribution), the Java Embedding Plugin's functionality is currently available to recent versions of Firefox, Seamonkey and Camino. But in principle any web browser could use one of the Java Embedding Plugin's two APIs to add support for Java 1.4.2, J2SE 5.0 and (where available) Java SE 6.
