After I applied the latest Apple Security Update around October 20th 2012 my Java Applets would no longer work; | |
in particular the ATO Business Portal which I need to submit quarterly data to the Australian Taxation Office. | |
When using Safari I always got a "Missing Plugin" error - even after I "Enabled Java" in the Security Preferences of Safari. | |
I confirmed that my Java version was up to date by running: | |
java -version | |
which gave me: | |
java version "1.6.0_37" | |
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_37-b06-434-11M3909) | |
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.12-b01-434, mixed mode) | |
I then manually relinked to Java Applet plugin which solved the issue by running the following commands: | |
cd /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins | |
sudo rm JavaAppletPlugin.plugin | |
sudo ln -s /System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle/Contents/Resources/JavaPlugin2_NPAPI.plugin JavaAppletPlugin.plugin | |
After restarting Safari I was able to use the Business Portal again. | |
