I am new to the Mac OS and to Java Web Start. Using Java Web Start to launch a Java application on the Mac is discussed in several of the posts here. However, in the requirement section of the Overview for Java Web Start says 'Requirements Desktop/Client requirements: The client machine requires support for the Java Runtime Environment (JRE.
The GalaxyAdmins group uses the University of Iowa's Blackboard Collaborate (Ellumiate Live!) web conference system for it's conference call meetups.
Blackboard Collaborate (Ellumiate Live!) Tips
You do not need any special client, just a web browser and Java installed (the client will run as a Java web start app).
If you are using a recently updated version of Mac OS X, you will need to take some extra steps to get Java Web Start to work.
If you have headphones they greatly improve your audio and a headset really helps when you are speaking.
A couple of things to mention, when you launch your session - you can tune your connection speed:
Talking works like a walkie-talkie ... you have to select 'Talk' (see capture below) to open up your audio line. There can only be 6 simultaneous talkers. Please only select the talk button when you need to actually talk to reduce background noise and to free up lines for others to participate.
Java Web Start on Mac OS X
If you are running any moderately recent version of OS X, you may need to take some additional steps. See this RacoonLab posting for details.
How do I know I have this problem?
These two situations are known to be fixed with this solution:
If the
meeting.jnlp
file downloads but doesn't launch automatically, or even after you double click on it thenStart a shell, go to your downloads directory and typejavaws meeting.jnlp
if you see
Java Web Start splash screen process exiting .....
Bad installation. No JRE found in configuration file
- Blackboard Collaborate launches, says loading, gets to 3 of 5 dots on the status indicator and then throws up a blank gray window
then
you probably have this problem.
How do I fix this problem?
What Is Mac Os Extended Journaled
In the shell enter
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Delete :JavaWebComponentVersionMinimum'
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.meta.plist
You should then be able to launch the meeting.jnlp
by double clicking on it.
What Is Mac Os Java Web Start.app Version
You may also find that you receive a message indicating that the file cannot be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store. This can be worked around by right clicking the meeting.jnlp
file and clicking 'Open' in the menu that pops up. More details about this error can be found here.
What Is Windows
I'm pretty sure my problem is about the same. Basically I cant install the Java 7 update cause I get an error message during download telling me I dont have mac os x 10.7 or higher....but I do. The Oracle Java update for Lion just isnt recognizing it! I have mac os x lion 10.7.5 on my laptop and for some reason, certain Pogo games wont load...it says its loading but never does and just closes. I went to the help page, did what it said, I scanned for current updates, installed them, rebooted then went back to Pogo and clicked on the java test link to see what version im running. I got the error 'missing plug in' so I clicked on it and was taken to Java's website for instructions, clicked 'Download Java for Mac OS X,' then hit sytem requirements and saw that I had to be running os x 10.7.3 or above and I have 10.7.5. I was good to go, hit download and now Im here! Annoyed and confused beause updates and upgrades are pretty basic and simple. You either meet the system requirements or you dont. I meet them but cant get them cause it says I dont....its a viscious cycle and Im rambling like a madwoman! Is there an easy yes or no answer to this, maybe a follow steps 1,2,3 A,B,C you can post for non computer savvy moms? LOL I just want the handful of Pogo games I used to be able to play, to play again...nothing complicated! And why is it only some games and not all of them? Dont answer that, my hair already hurts...haha
Update Java Mac Os
Im not much of a computer person, but Im sure thats more than obvious, so my apologies if my problem has nothing to do with this one....tell me where to go or what forum to read thru for help. I also want to pologize in advance for the help Im gonna need after I get this updated! lol I hear the update has something screwy with the plugins being enabled and that its another nightmare with this whole new oracle java deal. Hmmm, maybe I shouldnt even do this java update. 😕 😁
