Why do I have problems running Java, after updating to macOS 10.12 (Sierra)?
This article applies to:- Platform(s): macOS
- Java version(s): 8.0
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.

http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1359 is the newest Java that Mac OS X 10.5 will support on either Intel or PowerPC Macs. People with 10.5 through 10.5.7 must backup their data, and shut down, disconnect their backup, and then update to 10.5.8 before they can use the Java.

Use these tips if you are stuck with 10.5.8 to get your Flash up to date:
Note, if you need Java 1.6 (same as Java 6), according to the download link above, it is only available for 64 bit Intel Macs, and not PowerPC Macs. Otherwise
you are stuck with Java 1.5.
If you have an Intel Core2Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon Mac, you can upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7.3 to get Java 7, which is far more secure.
Please read the link on upgrading, as there are pitfalls for taking this path are important to read.
Mac OS X 10.6 (explains how to upgrade to 10.6) has its own Java maximum, discussed here, which you can get to if you at least have an Intel processor, and may offer some limited additional compatibility, though is not as secure as Java 7.
Note: PowerPC Macs with 800 Mhz dual processor or lower speed (1 Ghz is higher) must update to 10.4.11 to get the latest Java:
Check Apple menu -> About this Mac to find out if that pertains to you.
