XMLWordPrintable

    • x86_64
    • os_x

      ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
      jre-8u421-macosx-x64

      Mac OS 10.13.6

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      Crashes. That's it. Java control panel never opens, just produces crash report every time I click on "Reopen Java Control Panel".

      Unistalled and reinstalled, rebooted Mac - still crashes but no longer brings up crash reporter. Java unusable.

      Now uninstalled from system as clearly incompatible with MacOS 10.13

      REGRESSION : Last worked in version 8

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      1. Update JRE to JRE version 421
      2. Open System Preferences
      3. Click on Java control panel


      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      Java Control panel opens in a separate window
      ACTUAL -
      Java control panel does not open.
      Java control panel crashes
      Crash reporter logs that Java Control Panel has crashed
      System Preferences panel shows "Reopen Java Control Panel" button
      Clicking this button produces the same result.

      FREQUENCY : always
