Test your java installation:
http://java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp

you need to have java plugin activated for your browser!

Also you can't test your 64 Bit Java with a 32 Bit Browser (another Reason why non official development of Firefox 64 Bit sux ...)

Anything useful for non-tech types that are having compatibility issues in some software with v7?

[borka]

I am on v6 myself - and thus i'll post updates for it till it's EOL (which just was set from July to November)

look at first post at the bottom for v6 urls - the testjava url works with it too...

Update: switched to 7 - works for me (anyways no (t much) Java stuff i use beside HnH and Salem)
will carry on posting SE 6 updates till EOL ...

Update2 Java 6 EOL now February 2013 finally

[MagicManICT]

Probably because people still haven't gotten compatibility issues worked out of existing software yet...

[borka]

Mac (older OSX) and IcedTea infos and urls hopefully soon...as fast as their Maintainers are


DevPreview gets updated regularly with latest builds...

I recommend always keep your Java updated to latest stable SE 6 or 7 for security fixes!


Thanx for sticky sab!

[borka]

Attention! The latest Java 7u10 has a security hole in browser plugin - exploits for that are already in use - disable the java plugin in your browser untill there's a fix! If you're using MS IE even if you disabled Java plugin Java is still working in browser - better grab an alternative browser!

Thanks for the updates, borka. Though I would recommend always disabling Java in your browser... only enable it if you have to.
