Fixing My Java Runtime (Broken in 10.4.6 Update)

[ppc_michael]

After updating to 10.4.6, my Java runtime broke. Running "java -version" in Terminal gives "Segmentation fault." and Java applications won't launch.

How can I repair this? I tried downloading and re-installing Java 1.4.2 from Apple's site but it won't let me install it, because Installer says "Does not contain a version of Java that needs updating."

I've been getting Java errors as well, and didn't link it to 10.4.6, but, that makes sense cause since then I have had the problems....

I have no idea how to fix it though.

I haven't had any issues but maybe have a look at this Apple Support Discussion.

Download & install J2SE50Release3 from http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/26564

then go to: Applications >> Utilities >> Java >>J2SE5.0 >> Java preferences.

open the preferences app & and select the J2SE5.0/and drag it to the top of both lists, if it is not already there. Then re-start your browser and try everything again

been there, done that.....

As of today, there's a Java update you can also try.
