The web is full of that, just look at all the complains from Eclipse or Netbeans users.Click on the yellow download button. Specially OS 10.9 is breaking a lot of Java based apps, not only the Android IDE. And fanbois seems to be oblivious to the fact that they don't get any updates from "their master" anymore and have to do something on their own if they are using any applications that require 3rd party components, like Java. And their version checks apparently embedded in OS X (for security reasons, or so they claim) seems to keep trapping over the fact that Java 1.6 isn't Oracle's main release anymore. But instead, the official stance of Apple is that they don't supply any of such patches beyond Java 1.6 anymore. If they would be really so security oriented as they claim (and droves of fanbois blindly follow), they would have updated the Java versions that they release to use Java 1.7 (which is the mainstream release for all other OS but Apple) a year ago. It's rather another ploy to keep you in their "walled garden" and make money of it by doing so. They claim it is all about security, which it is not. The Java client software (or any SDK, if you have installed it) will make you aware of a new update being available when started and in turn, M$ will not through any wrench in your sprockets when you try to do that (beside that you need to have proper user permissions to do so).Īpple on the other side did (tried to) to provide the Java updates them self (in a half-arsed way), as they got anal about all the code signing crap. Microsoft does not apply any updates to Java with their updates, it's up to you to properly keep Java updated. This is how they deploy the latest updates. Can you point me to any note about this topic? If you are in software business, maybe you know about MS and there automatic updates on patch day or by using WSUS. This is only an option if they don't fix any security vulnerabilities or if you don't care about security at all.Īnd sorry, I still don't get it why its an issues of Apple and I have no indication that there is anything messed up regarding the latest 10.9.4 update. If you do any-non Apple related software development (like for an Arduino), simply don't use the latest and greatest (from Apple's POV). Answer from Apple tech support: Get a new printer\scanner (though that is as old as the MacBook itself, a bit over a year). Had at the same client, who insisted on upgrading to each new OS X release since getting a new MacBook last year, twice now the drivers for a printer\scanner stop working. They live in their own little world and don't care about anyone or anything else. They don't give a rat's a** about being compatible with anything or properly fix 3rd party dependencies. The main problem is that Apple makes a mess with it's Java deployment on each new OS X release, getting worth and worth each time. So to me it's and documentation error on the Arduino software site. Using the packaging 1.5.7 which is not recommended for OSX 10.7 and above, everything works fine. Sorry, didn't get it why it's an issue of new Apple Software. ![]() If you insist on using the lasted abomination from (C)(R)Apple, then you have to be able to cope with stuff like this. ![]()
