If you have installed this version of Java or the Java plug-in, you will only be able. Down to make sure Java is enabled; Mac: On the 'task bar', Internet Explorer -> Edit. Internet Explorer 6+ - install the Java Runtime Plug-in (version 1.3.1.
Apple has posted an update to OS X and to Java. The OS X update brings the version level to 10.2.8 and includes reliability and functionality enhancements as well as the latest security updates. From Apple: The 10.2.8 Update delivers enhanced functionality and improved reliability for the following applications, services and technologies: Audio, Bluetooth, Classic compatibility, Finder, Graphics, LDAP, Power Management, Safari, and FireWire and USB device compatibility. The update also provides updated security services and includes the latest Security Updates.
From Appleis: These are some of the enhancements that are a part of the Mac OS X 10.2.8 Update:. Windows on external displays connected to some PowerBook computers are drawn better.
The Bluetooth menu bar item works better when a Bluetooth USB adapter is disconnected and reconnected. Addresses a situation in which an external FireWire storage device would not become available (mount) and this message would appear: 'A disk attempting to mount as iunknowni has failed. Please use Disk Utility to check the disk.' .
Addresses an issue in which some Bluetooth devices may not be available after the computer wakes from sleep.
FYI - the same thing happened to me, and not every font available in the pull-down list would work. So, if you're still struggling with not being able to read the IDE Settings panel because of all the zero's: 1. Get to the IDE settings via the gears icon in the IDE window.
Select the second preferences panel from the top in the left-hand column 3. The top pull-down menu is the the Font Name. Choose a different font from the current one. Press the 'Apply' button, which is the third button from the left along the bottom. If that doesn't do it, choose a different font (step #3) & try again.

There are no such problems on my system. I guess, I just selected the right fonts then. I am not really happy with this release - there are no release notes that tell us what they fixed. There are many people on the Apple Java list complaining about the missing notes. Let's see, maybe they need a little more time for that.
Dirk Dittert I see that Apple has not changed it's sloppy ways when it comes to Java. I hope the release works better than its quality seems to indicate. Too bad they changed the whole architecture to go faster and now about 8 months later they have 1.4.1 which is what. A year behind? So much for keeping up.

The drawing speed for Java 1.4.1 has improved. It's no longer 10 times slower than 1.3.1 was. It's still only 2/3 the speed that 1.3.1 was. The 1.4.1 install modified 1.3.1. Now 1.3.1 is HALF the drawing speed that 1.3.1 used to be.' (from Sean Luke) Is it just for me or is the size of of the 'Compare with Repository' window at least twice the screen size?
That's bad on a mac because you can only resize the windows from the bottom right (which I can't reach.) Dirk Dittert. Dirk Dittert wrote: Robert S. Sfeir wrote: I see that Apple has not changed it's sloppy ways when it comes to Java.

I believe there is a bug filed for it.
