Thanks, Larry. That’s interesting to know. I do have Java 6 also installed (along with 8, update 31), and have not had issues, as mentioned, with my 10.10.3 (not 10.3.3, as I had mistyped). Until a fix is put in, can I suggest that we put the sentence you wrote above in an FAQ and in the panel on Java in the preferences? -louis > >> >> Many months ago, I tried to get, through additional java flags, what >> problems any of our java code might be causing for java 7 specifically. >> Some methods we are using are deprecated, but I didn't interpret these >> as show stoppers.
