Re: OSX 10.8.3 No Joy
Maybe, maybe not. Unfortunately, I rely on software that is broken by Java beyond 6_u37 (apparently due to undocumented changes in the way that Java handles threads -- thanks, Oracle). Anyway, 6_u37 was released by Apple with the Developer Package release in October of 2012. I wouldn't call that 'pretty old'. OS X will install 6_u43 if I let it do whatever it wants and that will leave me in a heap of trouble. I can probably try it under Java 7 since installing that doesn't seem to clobber Java 6 so readily (at least in my hands). Can you recommend running it w/ Java 7 on OS X?
