10.4: A fix for broken Java after XCode installation Fri, Apr 29 '05 at 09:01PM • from: Anonymous


	After I installed Xcode (I selected to install everything), Java produced same segmentation fault problem as in 10.3.9. I found a solution by applying steps for Java 1.4.2 in Apple's website. Here is a copy of the steps: Open Terminal Type `cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Libraries/; sudo java -Xdump` and press Return. Type your password (you must be logged in as an administrator user) and press Return. Type `cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.3.1/Libraries/; sudo java -Xdump:/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.3.1/Libraries/classes.jsa -version` and press Return. After this, Java is working correctly again on my machine. Hope this tip is useful to you. ______________________________________________

I am not sure if it is the Java 5.0 PR1 release that fixed it since i have installed it but 1.4 is still the default Java version.

Anyway, works fine on my Tiger.

I don't know whether folks usually have the cwd (".") in their command path (I hope it comes last) ... but after using "cd" such as in this hint, I would be more comfortable executing "./java ..." as a general practice to avoid the other possibilities, during any operation where there are multiple versions on the same system.
