This will provide you with the current version of Java, if installed on your system.

The next part of the exercise will update your Java configuration in relation to Safari's problems. So, if this is an issue which one assumes it possibly is for most users then do the upgrade via software upgrade or the download, if it is not then do not do it.

Thanks for the advice Rob.
I got the Java Update advice via the Software Update flag today, so I ran the 'install now' routine. - even though I hadn't experienced any of the problems described. I should have made my actions clearer in the inital post.

Part two requires you choose which version, then run commands to clean up the archive so as to remove the errors or those creating the errors and then reset.

So I read your advice as: now that I've done the part one update, I should do the part 2.



Their is also the Security Update in Software update, I have applied both and yes Java works slightly better than it did.

I got no flag, via 'Software Update', of any Security Update beyond the 10.3.9 delta installation but I guess that's a minor issue if I always keep step with recommended updates.

I do note that some java dialogues are**too** fast for my old reflexes now :-))

thanks again for replying
