Hello,
Adding apple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=false to the Info.plist fixes it
for java 5. I used the Property List Editor to do it - but here is
where you can add it using a text editor.
<key>Java</key>
<dict>
<key>ClassPath</key>
<string>$JAVAROOT/lib/prelauncher-1.9.jar</string>
<key>JVMVersion</key>
<string>1.5+</string>
<key>MainClass</key>
<string>net.sf.taverna.raven.prelauncher.PreLauncher</
string>
<key>Properties</key>
<dict>
<key>apple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz</key>
<string>false</string>
<key>apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar</key>
<string>true</string>
We are now going to check out java 6 and see if there are any problems
with adding this to the plist as default.
Cheers,
Ian

So the general advice about Java for OSX 10.5 update 4 from the
java-dev list at apple is simply - don't update..
Could you try to modify Info.plist (I know you know how!) to add
-Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=false as a system property?
From http://lists.apple.com/archives/Java-dev/2009/Jun//msg00291.html:
A potentially relevant change was that we flipped the
default graphics pipeline in J2SE 5.0 back to the Quartz
renderer. You might try explicitly setting the Sun 2D renderer
using -Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=false if you can
reproduce the issue.

I'm afraid I've found a couple more bugs...
I updated my Java version just the other day as prompted by my
regular
updater
(http://support.apple.com/downloads/
Java_for_Mac_OS_X_10_5_Update_4), all
the while thinking in the back of my head, "This is going to screw up
Taverna. I just know it."
It did.
I can no longer see any details on the workflow diagrams in Taverna
1.7.1,
just the shapes. In Taverna 2.1 beta, the labels exist, but are
dissociated
from the shapes. And missing their first characters. I've attached
screenshots to demonstrate what I'm seeing.
Also, I noticed a second quirky behavior: when I tried to open a
workflow
with a JDBC component in T2.1b, I got the predictable error when it
fails to
open. After dismissing the error, however, the entire menu bar had
disappeared. Fortunately, I could use the icons in the UI for the
same
operations, and clicking on the open folder icon caused the menu
bar options
to return. I'm sure it's not intended to work quite that way.
Sorry to bring more errors to the table; unfortunately this makes
it a
little harder to do my work. I didn't realize how much I depend on
the
workflow diagram to navigate the structure until I couldn't see the
labels!
Can anyone point to directions on how to roll back the Java update
so I can
have everything working again?
