I tried to install this update on my Mom's imac and all it did was crash the software updater application. I don't know if it is that her installation of panther is bad, or if there's just a problem with the update...

Just downloaded and installed with no problems. Install went perfect on 10.3.1.

No problems for me either (on 10.3.1)

Those (like me) who did an upgrade instead of an archive/install and found their Java installation broken (HotSpot not found at virtual address message) will still have this problem after this upgrade.

I have upgraded to 10.3.1 and when I saw this Java update, I thought it might fix the problem, but it didn't.

Guess I'll have to go grab my disk and do the manual update *sigh*.

Installed fine on my 17 inch powerbook running 10.3.1 (clean install). No problems so far.

Doesn't show up in my Software Update

Yeah, it didn't show up in mine either. I had to download the installer from Apple's site.

Does anybody know of any "problematic" java app web pages that I can test this update with?

Show'd up on my software update last night about (10 p.m. central)
