Apple has released “Java 1.4.2 Update 2” (26.4MB) via Software Update which provides improved behavior for applets in Safari and increased stability for desktop Java applications. Java 1.4.2 Update 2 also includes all the improvements from Java 1.4.2 Update 1.
The system will be updated to Java 1.4.2 Update 2. If the system currently has Java 1.4.1, it will be removed. Any previous Java 1.4.2 installation will be completely replaced.
For more details on this update, please visit: http://www.apple.com/java/
Whatever Apple is doing with Java… keep it up!
The application is 200% better than it was even 6 months ago.
Now… If I could just get Windows Media to play on the Mac without problems – for those sites that don’t have Real or QuickTime.
@ above: yeah i agree and i’m on windows lol, quicktime never has any issues:)
I am legion…
I DON’T WANT MY APPLETS TO BEHAVE!!! I WANT THEM TO BREAK ALL THE RULES! I WANT THEM WILD! I WANT THEM IN MY FACE WITH ERROR MESSAGES IT WOULD TAKE A LINGUIST TO TRANSLATE!!!!!
There goes my uptime back to zero :
Kassandra….
Welcome to a “No Windows” zone….. LOL…
Isnt time for you to consider a Mac ??
wtf?
It doesn’t appear in Software Update? I’m running 10.3.3 (minimum OS required) on an iBook
anyone else?
Will this stop the Azureus kernel panics on Dual Processor Macs?
I deactivated 1 processor (with chud tools) in an attempt to stop the kernel panics, ok so far.
Does anyone know if this is a viable way to deal with the problem?
TIA
Kassandra: tell us about the future… something we will be able to believe of course

So far so good. Applets run faster and seem more stable, but of course, it could be a figment of my imagination.
Glick7,
If you want to watch WMV files but don’t want that ugly, horrible WMP on your Mac, download a copy of VLC from VersionTracker.
Note that the Java update is only for MacOS X 10.3.3+. My work machine is still running 10.2.8 which explains why it didn’t show up on S/W Update 🙁 I don’t know why hellstudios didn’t see the update on his computer.
“…Azureus kernel panics…”
Blue kernel panics?
What? Dual processor Macs, in my experience, are both extremely stable, and extremely sensitive to bad memory. Memory that tests ok, even works in other Macs can destablize a dual processor Mac, especially a G5. Every time I’ve had kernel panics that I could not explain or resolve with a clean install of the OS, removing and installing new memory has fixed the problem.
theloniusMac,
I agree with you about the stability of DP Macs, my DP 2Ghz G5 is fine except for Azureus, this is a known issue – see below

Ohhhh… a BitTorrent Client.
Any good?
The best, give it a try
Running 10.3.5 and the Update DID show up in Software Update soon after midnight on my Mac.
