Seems every time Apple makes a update they mess something up they should test there programing before releaseing it now they want us to buy Tiger for about $140 ha that's a joke if your going to buy Tiger wait untill they release 10.4.2 or 10.4.3 you know there are going to be security holes in 10.4 and apps will probly have problems for the first few months. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that Developer Previews of Java on Mac OS X be installed on non-critical systems.
The same applies for any other Java-related Software Updates or Developer Previews. Therefore, the only way to revert to an earlier Java installation is to reinstall the operating system. Q: Can I remove a Java update after I've installed it?Ī: Java on Mac OS X is updated incrementally through numerous releases. HOWEVER - doing a 'repair' type install on the OS did work. I am hoping they can patch it, because I don't want to reinstall the apps I had to reinstall after the OS reinstall. The system now will not start up normally (I have to hold the power button down, wait for the long beep tone, etc.) At that time I did not know the JAVA update was the culprit - but when I just updated it again the problem re-occurred. When I reinstalled the OS it worked normally.
