macOS Sierra was released by Apple in September 2016. Java is compatiblewith this version, however, few Java issues have been reported onSierra. We are actively working on identifying and resolving those issues.

A few of the issues that we are currently addressing are listed below.

JVM throws NullPointerExceptions on macOS Sierra 10.12

On macOS Sierra 10.12, if a user presses modifier keys (such as Command, Alt, Shift) while an applet is running in a browser, an error box named “Internal Error” might be displayed. It will also show the “exec” icon in the macOS dock. The user can dismiss the applet, or try to rerun the applet while not pressing a modifier key. See JDK-8165867.

Trackpad scrolling of text is very fast

A bug in macOS Sierra has caused scrolling with the trackpad to to be very fast. A workaround is using a mouse, or updating to Java version 8 Update 121 (released January 2017) or later versions.

Apple updated Java for OS X Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion on Tuesday. The releases adds compatibility for Java SE 6 version 1.6.0_65.

The patch notes are unspecific, saying:

This release updates the Apple-provided system Java SE 6 to version 1.6.0_65 and is for OS X versions 10.7 or later.

This update uninstalls the Apple-provided Java applet plug-in from all web browsers. To use applets on a web page, click on the region labeled 'Missing plug-in' to go download the latest version of the Java applet plug-in from Oracle.

The updates come in two flavors:

  • Java for OS X 2013-005 - (for Lion and Mountain Lion)
  • Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 17 (that link, direct from Apple's Downloads site, currently resolves to Update 16)
