Re: [freenet-support] Downgrading Java on OS X

Jon,

I tried all of your suggestions without success.

Go to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/ and 
delete the 1.4.2 folder.


Removed and deleted the folder, could not empty trash because a file 
was in use so I had to restart the computer and then empty trash.



I also edited these files to say 1.4.1 instead of 1.4.2.
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Info-macos.plist
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Resources/version.plist


I did not find references to 1.4.2 but rather to 2.0.0. I changed 
them to 1.4.1. When I asked what version Java (java -version) 
response was that java could not be found


If that doesn't work, then download the 1.4.1 installer after you do 
all that and reinstall.


After all that I tried to reinstall 1.4.1 but the installer says a 
later version exists. So some reference to JavaVM 1.4.2 still remains 
somewhere in the system.
I restored the 1.4.2 folder, but not changing the resource files 
again, Java came back and I was able to run Freenet (for an hour).


Downgrading a framework is not easy on MacOSX!

Thank you,

Check for a file in /Library/Receipts relating to Java 1.4.2. Delete it
(should be only a few kb) so the 1.4.1 installer should work and
overwrite the old version. (I did the same surgery to a box about a year
ago and it worked fine.)
