Re: Java Upgrade Problem

I hit this problem this week also. You need to install the Java Update
1.4.1 for Panther
(http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120274) before you can
run the Java 1.4.2 updater. This is not the same as the Java 1.4.1 upgrade.

"The Java 1.4.1 Update for Panther ensures that your system has a
complete Java installation. It contains support for both Java 1.4.1 and
Java 1.3.1

Some customers who did an upgrade install of Mac OS X v10.3 "Panther"
from Mac OS X v10.2 may have an incomplete installation of Java.

Customers who did an erase install or an archive and install are not
affected. "
