If you have upgraded your Intel based Mac from an earlier version of OS/X, you must make sure the Java SE 6 is the preferred runtime for Java based applications. This setting can be found in the Java Preferences application (under Applications/Utilities): Make sure that Java JE 6 is the preferred tool for Java Applets and Java Applications. It doesn't matter if you choose the 32 or 64 bit version. | ||||||||
