How can i combat with java update on mac snow leopard - java

I am using preinstalled jdk for development on mac which is 1.6.0_17. With this version or copy if installed jdk i cannot run java applets in firefox or any other web browser on mac. if i update my mac with latest java which is Java for mac OS X 10.6 update 6 then i can solve java applet. But with latest java update i cannot connect to MSSQL Server which is bug in java 1.6.0_29. I would be happy to install older version of java for mac OS X but those are not available, may be i am unable to find them through google ?
My query is, how can i solve both problems ? can i install two java versions on mac and use them parallely, lets say one for eclipse and other for browser. OR is there any other way to cope both problems.
I am using current snow leopard, myEclipse, Java 1.6.0_17 and mssql server 2008.

The bug that causes the JDBC driver to fail is fixed in java 1.6.0_30 - see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/6u30-relnotes-1394870.html
If you can't wait for update 30 for the Mac to arrive, the bug description suggests that you may be able to avoid it by reconfiguring your the JDBC connection to use a non-SSL/TLS channel. (I've no idea how you'd do that, but it is worth investigating if you are desperate for a workaround.)
Alternatively talk to Apple or Oracle's Java support.

I have not solved it 100% but some how solution or workaround works. Which is working with two javas
Java for mac osx
OpenJDK for development
So i have updated my mac with latest java version that i can easily use java applet.Later i have downloaded and configured openjdk for development.
if you are using mac then perhaps this link would be more helpful .

Simply make a folder "javaVirutalMachines" under "/Library/java/" and double click on alreadly download build file of openjdk. **

How to set up applications requiring legacy java on El Capitan (OS X 10.11)?

I have a clean install of El Capitan. I have PHPStorm installed on my Macbook Air. When I try to run the application, I get an error that says PHP storm can't be opened because it requires legacy Java SE 6. I've attached an image of the error below.
I had the same problem when I installed Yosemite but I was able to install the legacy java fix (Java for OS X 2014-001) from Apple's website. When I try installing that same java fix I get the following Error:
Java for OS X can't be installed on this disk. A newer version of this package is already installed
Any thoughts and help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Download Java 6 for El Capitan:
Java for OS X 2015-001 Beta
https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1824
I've used Homebrew to install JDK 1.6.0_65:
brew tap homebrew/cask-versions
brew cask install java6
If you have a problem with Java version on OsX Yosemite or El Capitain, you should download bundled Webstorm (or any other IDE from Jetbrains). It's working, I've tried it by myself.
https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/download/
And yes, this is not a programming related question, but it's an IDE for programming and when you come to work at morning and you can't code — that's problem — and you don't care if it's related ;)
i changed version to 1.8 here in below instructions and PhpStorm is now working for me.
At the moment all our products require Apple JDK 1.6 to be installed in order to run on Mac. JDK 1.7 from Oracle is not officially supported yet and has known problems that stop us from using it by default. Oracle JDK 1.7.0_40 has added support for Retina and works much better than previous versions on Mac. You are welcome to give it a try in case you have any problems with Apple JDK.
To force running under JDK 1.7 edit /Applications/.app/Contents/Info.plist file, change JVMVersion from 1.6* to 1.7* :
JVMVersion
1.7*
Open Terminal.app and write sudo nvram boot-args="rootless=0" + return
Reboot
Install Java from https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572?locale=en_US
This will install Java 6, 7 and 8. Enjoy!

Error opening matlab due to Java error

I was trying to simply open matlab I had a java exception. I didn't do anything except probably update java automagically. Has anyone had this problem before?
This is on MAC OS, yosemite.
Error message:
That particular error is due to installing a version of MATLAB that was released before the release of Mac OS Yosemite. Specifically, if you were running a version of Mac OS that is prior to the release of Yosemite, and then you decide to upgrade to Yosemite, you will generate this error when trying to run MATLAB after the fact.
It is a well-known bug that has unfortunately plagued a lot of Yosemite users.
If you consult this particular MathWorks thread: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/336387 , upgrading to Yosemite while having such a version of MATLAB will generate a java.lang.NullPointerException on startup. Fortunately, MathWorks has released a patch to patch up your MATLAB so you can get it running again.
See this link for more details on patching up your MATLAB program.
http://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/1098655
Make sure you download the right patch that corresponds to the MATLAB version you have.
yes i had this problem two or three years ago. if you use windows 7 aero theme, then you will get this error. Set the theme windows default, then try to open again. Otherwise please share your os and matlab version with us.

Installing jdk meant for linux on OS X

I was trying to find a download for jdk 1.6 specifically for OS X. But Oracle doesn't seem to offer one. This made me wonder if the jdk 1.6 meant for Linux would work fine on OS X. I could try running it to see if it works. But I thought I'd check here to see if there are any subtle or not-so-subtle issues that I've missed.
I have an AMD-64 architecture on my mac system.
Java 6 for Mac is provided by Apple rather than Oracle, and can be downloaded from http://support.apple.com/downloads/#Java - look for the latest "Java for OSX", which at the time of writing is 2014-001.

Informix CSDK install failing

I'm trying to install the Informix CSDK to get the drivers for an ODBC connection using Perl and DBD::ODBC. When running the ./installclientsdk, I'm getting the following error:
Initializing InstallShield Wizard........
Launching InstallShield Wizard........erified.
The wizard cannot continue because of the following error: could not load wizard specified in /wizard.inf (104)
I've read that only open-jdk is available on Ubuntu 11.10 so I went and installed the java version, which is where I'm at now. If I debug, I get:
QJMLException: (error code = 3002; message="java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: sun.beans.editors.BoolEditor")
I've been following this post:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1483193
But so far no luck on getting JRE running or the CSDK installed. Any suggestions on this one?
Thanks!
There should be a JVM included with the software, and the installer should use it if it cannot find an appropriate alternative. The question then is whether the JVM bundled with CSDK can run on Ubuntu 11.10. It is certified for Redhat and SuSE, I believe.
Which version of CSDK are you trying to install? Which kernel version and GNU C Library version are in Ubuntu 11.10?
I'm not keen on the '...erified' (as opposed to ...verified) part of the message; it is ominous when such simple messages are not displaying correctly.
I've not installed Informix on Ubuntu sufficiently recently to have any useful recollections of how well it worked. I don't remember any problems, but that could just mean I'm old and forgetful.

Java 1.6.0_26 on Mac OS X Lion

A third party application I'm using (Knime) hangs when using Java for Mac 1.6.0_29 (Java for OS X Lion Update 1). In the user forums of that app, it is recommended to use version 1.6.0_26.
Sadly, I got a fresh install, so there are no previous Java versions installed in my computer to downgrade to.
I've been looking for a while and still cannot find out how to install a previous version of Java for Mac OS X Lion.
Any ideas?
Too late for the original question, but, for the record, Knime has apparently fixed the error:

This might help:
- Register for a (free) Developer account at Apple: http://developer.apple.com/programs/register/
- Go to Downloads: http://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/wa/downloads
- Click Developer Tools on the right-hand side
- Scroll down until you see Java for Mac OS X 10.7 Developer Package - this should include 1.6.0_26.
As an alternative, you can download the 10.6 Java Update 5 from the same page and use these instructions to replace your current installation: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20100123192950640
