Apple has posted a support document that details a Java issue that some users are having after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.3.9. “After updating to Mac OS X 10.3.9, some systems may have issues with Java applications and Java-enabled websites when using Safari,” Apple says. “Safari may unexpectedly quit, and standalone Java applications may unexpectedly quit or not launch. You can perform a simple test to verify whether your computer is experiencing this issue. If it is, you will need to reinstall one or two software updates to resolve the issue.” The two pieces of software are Java 1.4.2 Update 2 or Security Update 2005-002.
