David, thanks for catching that. Updated the post accordingly

Very useful. (There’s a typo on line 6 – you’re still working with the JavaApplicationStub, not with a JavaStubLoader. And if you’re a veteran Mac user just follow the path and duplicate the file, for goodness sake.)

One thing that I wondered was whether the modified Java app would still run on a PowerPC machine. The answer, to my suprise, is Yes.

You made my day

Thanks a lot, now I can use JabRef with my Mac again – without “slowing down” Rosetta…

Awesome. Thanks for the info! I have also been avoiding installing Rosetta. This fix helped with my install of Gallery Remote for gallery.sf.net. Thanks!

Emma:

Please get the latest Java directly from Apple’s Software Update in your computer.

If in doubt about this, please see this Mac article from Apple:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338?viewlocale=en_US

This should definitely help. If you go to the Java site downloads section, you will find Java for all platforms… except for Apple Mac! (http://www.java.com:80/en/download/manual.jsp?locale=en&host=www.java.com:80)

I have a mac and it keeps telling me I need to download Java 1.6 to be able to use Limewire. It does not give me the option to download when I search the software update – can anyone help?

@Pierre: this only works for applications written in java. Dreamweaver was not written in java, so sadly, you have to either run it in rosetta or update to an intel native version.
@George Crozer: That appears to be a javascript error, not a java error. Despite the similar sounding names, javascript and java are wholly unrelated. Since it appears to be an error in the applications scripts, you might fix it by re-installing dreamweaver. If not, you should contact Adobe support.

Hi, I have a java app that uses libGL4JavaJauGljJNI14.jnilib but the jnilib is stuck in ppc mode, and i cant get this to work. I either need the libGL4JavaJauGljJNI14.jnilib to be compiled as x86, or need to run the whole program, including the jnilib in rosetta… any suggestions?

This isn’t working for me either. I have .jar files that I need to open, and now I seem to have no way of opening them. When I go into the Info window in Finder, I can’t tell it to open with this JavaApplicationStub. It won’t let me. What app do I open .jar files with now?

When trying to insert a recordset using DW8 I get the error message

(while executing insert object in Recordset.htm, the following Java script error(s) occurred At line 40 of file “MacHD:applications:Macromediadreamweaver:8:configurationobjects:server:Recordset.js”:type error:
sbFileDOM.parentWindow.applyServerBehavior is not a function)

Im hoping this is a problem that can be fixed with your article?

I have identified JavaApplicationStub but not sure what to do with it.
I believe my dreamweaver 8 application is where the Java application is located but am unsure.
could you help??

Macromedia Dreamweaver MX2004 does not open with SL. I tried this method but it failed. You write “paste JavaStubLoader to the MacOS folder of the application (MX2004 for me)”, but what I have copied from System is not JavaStubLoader but JavaApplicationStub, as you wrote! I am confused…!
And it does help, MX 2004 still pops out and then goes back to sleep. MX2004 does not open.
Sorry for asking for some more help.

Thank you for the very useful information! Not only did it fix my problem but I learned some new tricks about Finder!
