Java 2 Standard Edition 5.0 Release 4

Dreamweaver Errors With Java??

Installed this Java 2 SE 5 update, and Dreamweaver 8 stopped opening on me.

Kept hanging on "initialising assets" with start up screen.

Found an update for Dreamweaver to version 8.0.1 which got it opening ok. But it was serioulsy slow and switching from code to design view was taking a least a minute! Or not working at all.

I've just switched back to Java 1.4.2 in the Java prefs setting and now it's all working fine! Hmm.

Running PowerMac Dual 2Ghz G5, 2.5GB RAM and Tiger 10.4.6 if anyones interested.

I may be partially responsible for this update with the 700 times I have contacted apple with a java crashes...

I love it, now Pacific Poker java works beautifully!

Perhaps, they're using something that's been retired and it works more slowly in 1.5.x. You might try switching it again to try it. If it is consistent, you might want to alert Macromedia.

Dr Java...

What about Dr. Java? Is it ok still? I need it for my computer science class.

google...

"The current stable release for DrJava is drjava-stable-20060127-2145.
This version supports Java 1.4 and Java 1.5."

I'm not a huge Java expert, but I've heard that Apple's Java support isn't very good. What's your guys' opinion on this?

This really really varies - see my benchmark results for 30 different macs and pc:s on http://www.jole.fi/JavaPerformanceTest/

Java applet problems

Immediately after installing this Java update on my MacBook Pro in OS X 10.4.6, I discovered that the "hover buttons" that Microsoft Frontpage creates for navigation bars on sites no longer seem to work. Safari just crashes with the spinning wheel when it tries to render the hover buttons, and FireFox simply tells me the applet was unable to be loaded.

No restart is required.

Please post if you are aware of specific Java-based applications or applets that require Java 1.4.2.

Problems with FrontPage creating non-compliant Java code is not a surprise, nor is it truly anything new.

64 bit Java and the IBM road map....

..found this a while ago:

..and one of my older posts:

Optical Computing is coming...either already here for some...or taking its time
mosey'n down the high tech thoroughfare..ahem.

Java is a patch...whether fully 64 bit, 128-bit or 256/1024 bit...you only get
as far as the computational architecture scientists will let you. Some other
posts I made (including an original jab at a "clean sheet of paper" solution for
Apple..which wandered too much...Steve needs clear thinkin' here...ahem)..
won't really cover these issues until Apple's purchasing public catches up with
it "splendid ideas" people.

When that gonna happen?

When these 'remote viewer' PC's they keep attempting to put in your mobile
phone connect to IBM's Lenovo mind boxes..and tell you what to purchase at
Wally Mart...before the Wi-Fi RFID on the box lid zaps you..

Paranoia systems ahoy..?

Nope.

There is just too much capability...too little time..and too much that can go
wrong before these "2012" mind game scenarios take place..Java mind boxes
or not...Apple NEEDS YOUR INPUT NOW on these subjects. Please walk in the
door at the Apple Store..demand to talk to their UNIX programmer..and ask them
to install an old copy of DOS 1.1 and make it talk to the new Java 2
Edition 5.0. YES DOS 1.1 SHOULD WORK on your Intel Chip Laptop. YES
Java should be able to "text monitor it"..YES the UNIX geek at the store should
be able to do a simple html or Java Script coding trial for you.

Anyone succeeding at this please post.

i have already po'd the staff at willowbend in n dallas...ahem..later gang

<---wants to go home now

Java update completely wrecking Safari!

After updating to Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Release 4 on my iMac G5 20" running 10.4.6, Safari hangs my entire machine up, with the only option being a hard reboot. This is a consistent result, happens every single time. I tried trashing ALL cache files and Safari plist, same result. Anyone else having this problem? I do have a lot of other software. Anyone aware of any conflicts? (I am now forced to use Explorer, which seems to run OK.)
