Java no longer working in SM 2.14.1
This is on a XP sp 3 machine. Yesterday, I updated to the newest Java. It ran properly, asking me if I wanted to run applications each time. Later in day, I got need a plugin to run this messages, and discovered Java had magically disappeared from my machine according to the Add-on Manager. It was still in my programs folder, however. I quit for the day. Today, I reinstalled it; it shows in the Add-ons manager as Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.110.21; it's enabled, but Java applications still say need a plugin to run this. I removed Java, reinstalled, but nothing has changed. IE 8 uses Java without problems. How do I get SM to use Java? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

It's there in Add/Remove Programs and Program Files, but not in About Plug-ins or Add-on Manager/Plug-ins. Applications (e.g. time.gov) say I need a plug-in. It all worked before today's update.

Re: Java no longer working in SM 2.14.1
Isn't this to do with JavaFX ? I removed my Java completely yesterday after being warned by UAC that clicking on an e-mail link in a PDF would cause Oracle's ssvagent to run. Checking further, I found that : ssvagent is run when java detects registry is not correct and then ssvagent tries to recover it. The last think I want is Java message with my registry when I try to send an e-mail. Uninstall JavaFX If the Java (TM) Platform plugin is no longer detected in your Mozilla browser after updating to the latest Java 7 JRE (Java Runtime Environment), this can be caused by an outdated JavaFX installation, which prevents the Java plugin from being properly registered. This issue has been reported after updating to Java 7 Update 10. To resolve, uninstall JavaFX from the Windows Control Panel list of installed programs, as suggested in this java.com help page. Note: JavaFX used to be bundled as a standalone program that was automatically installed with earlier versions of the Java 7 JRE but is now included as part of the JRE.

Philip has the clue - it's JavaFx that's the issue. I found the problem resolution on the Java site: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/firefox_java.xml Following the instructions to remove javafx and java, running the MS uninstall utility, then running the installer file (same one that failed earlier) did the trick. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

For both Java 7u10 and Java 7u11, I had a great difficulty getting a good installation. After uninstalling the prior version, I had to search my hard drive for any remnants of Java and JRE that were not removed, being careful not to touch JavaScript. Then I had to edit my Windows registry to remove all keys and values for Java and JRE, again being careful not to touch either JavaScript or things like objres. Only then was I able to get a good installation. It's damned annoying that, having cleaned everything for installing Java 7u10, I then had to do it again for Java 7u11. I would not bother even having Java, but I need it for a Web-design tool that I occasionally use. I also enjoy a Web game that uses it. I reported this problem to Oracle a year ago relative to Java 7u10. Yesterday, I updated that report for Java 7u11. Oops! While my description of my problems installing Java are correct, my last sentence is wrong. My first (and only) report was yesterday. I don't even think Java 7u10 existed a year ago. -- David E.
