If you choose not to update your version of Java, you can continue to use your existing Vuze installation however, we will be unable to provide you with updates and bug fixes unless you update your Java software. If you are running Mac OS X 10.3 or earlier, you may need to update your operating system to a later version first, because Apple does not provide Java versions later than 1.4.2 for older versions of OS X. For Mac OS X, please visit and download the latest Java update for your version of Mac OS X. The other option is to download and install the latest Java.On Macintosh OS X open the Software Update utility (from the Apple menu) and check for updates of Java for your Mac.Press the “Update Now" button to update to the latest Java release (version 1.6, from release family 6).

Vuze is fully compatible with the most recent releases of Java (release family 6) and recommends upgrading to this version however, Vuze will continue to be compatible with the next older version of Java (release family 5.0) until Sun phases out support for that version in 2009.


(For more information about Sun support for older versions of Java, visit ). However, support for this version from Sun Microsystems is coming to an end, and so Vuze must move forward to support only newer versions of the Java platform and to phase out support for Java version 1.4. As a matter of policy Vuze and the Azureus project have remained backward-compatible with version 1.4 of the Java environment, which was released in 2002. J2SE 1.4.The Vuze client (earlier known as Azureus) requires the Java runtime environment (JRE) in order to function. improvements to the security and compatibility of Java on Mac OS X 10.5.6 and later or below a certain version of Java, here are Apple's Java for 10.5 Updates. dylib in /usr/lib/java (four of these are regular files, the other four are symlinks if you prefer, you can copy just the files and recreate the symlinks by hand). the com directory in /System/Library/Java.This is based on Getting back the Cocoa-Java bridge in Snow Leopard:Ĭopy from a working Leopard (10.5) installation the following folders: In the instructions above, the same applies for version 1.4.2.In Pacifist, select 1.5 and 1.5.0, Control-click on the selection, and chose Install to Default Location from the pop-up menu.In Pacifist, drill down into Contents » System » Library » Frameworks » amework » Versions.Don’t skip this step, because otherwise the extraction will follow the symlinks and overwrite the contents of the 1.6.0 folder, oops!

Reinstalling the Cocoa-Java bridge along with the proper version of Java is necessary to re-enable these applications on Snow Leopard. As an example, Apple also removed the Cocoa-Java bridge from Snow Leopard, which some Java applications such as PDFLab depended on. For these applications, re-installing Java 1.4.2 and/or Java 1.5 is necessary. However, your favorite application may not have a Snow Leopard compatible upgrade. Upgrading to the lastest versions of many applications usually will solve the problem. Many applications that relied on Java 1.4.2 and Java 1.5 stopped working in Snow Leopard, because Apple removed these Java versions from the system.
