I have a G3 Powerbook with OS 9.1 installed and have been having difficulty with various applications and web sites requiring Mac Runtime Java.
I had version 2.1.4 installed and in a recent application installation, the installer asked to install version 2.2.5. After copying the old extensions, I went ahead with the installation. The software does not recognize that the extension is even present. When that didn't seem to work, I downloaded another copy of MRJ 2.2.5 from the Apple Web site and installed that, rebuilt the desktop and rebooted the computer. It still isn't recognized by the software or other web sites. I should mention that this is not a new problem with this computer. I've come across web sites that required MRJ and saw the notes that I didn't have it installed and have not bothered about learning why this was so until now. The Extension Folder contains a folder called "MRJ Libraries" and this was the same type of setup present in the former version. Even if I remove two of the main components from the "MRJ Libraries" folder and simply leave them in the Extensions Folder, nothing is recognized by the new application or web sites requiring Java. Has anyone else had this problem and developed a solution? Can anyone inform me why a seemingly correct placement of this software within the System Folder, is not recognized by the applications that require it? TIA.
