I've seen the notices and recommendations about the various Java
security holes. I understand the concerns. But there's one site my
wife visits regularly which requires Java, and now won't work on either
our XP-SP3 tower mainframe or a Win7 laptop, both with SM 2.15, because
SM has taken it upon itself to block every Java version back thru v6
Update 38. The only option available to the user is to disable it in
Add-On Mgr, which is useless since SM has already locked it out.
This is the only site she wants to use which uses Java, so I'd
appreciate any recommendations as to how to turn SOME version of Java
back on in SM.
After 2 days and approx. 15 exercises of starting from scratch with a
new profile to identify the cause, I've finally found the
'blocklist.xml' file. And I've disabled it, per instructions found thru
a Google search on that file name. Hopefully, the SM code-makers won't
include the next Java update in the contents of this list for it's daily
update download that isn't advertised as running in the background!
