Hi Ronald, It’s just two different ways to get java on your computer. The JDK is more for developers.
On a fresh OS X system, install the JDK and then the Freenet jar and it will work and you won’t get the popups. Somebody with wiki access should probably update it. Install the JDK: www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html Install Freenet jar: https://freenetproject.org/jnlp/freenet_installer.jar You may want to remove the applet as it doesn’t work. The JDK will update your java path so you won’t get those popups anymore. You can remove the JRE. There are other ways of resolving your issue, such as manually setting your java path to use the jre but I had success with the above method. Hope that helps, — Eric Chadbourne http://Nonprofit-CRM.org/ > On Mar 27, 2015, at 8:27 PM, ronald williams <raw5...@charter.net> wrote: > > Thank you for responding but I have a dumb question, what is JDK and what > is JRE? >> On Mar 27, 2015, at 11:52 AM, Eric Chadbourne <eric.chadbou...@icloud.com> >> wrote: >> >> Hi Ronald, >> >> I’ve just started playing around with Freenet on OS X.
