Tiger update broke my ImageJ

[Morri Feldman]

Yesterday my OSX updated itself to 10.4.3.  After the update ImageJ
would no longer start.  I assume the software update is responsible.
I tried the latest ij.jar (1.35) and it also won't start.  The crux of the
crash log seems to be:

Exception:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes:      KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x000003cc

if I execute the command "java -debug -jar ij.jar", ImageJ will start
and a window will warn me that "Plugins folder not found at
/Applications/ImageJ/ImageJ.app/Contents/Resources/Java/plugins"

Thanks in advance for your help,

Morri

I updated my laptop to 10.4.3 without any problems.

You can work around this problem by moving ij.jar into the ImageJ
folder. You can also launch ImageJ by double clicking on ij.jar, but
this does not allow you to allocate more memory using the -Xmx option.

Here are a couple of other things you can try. Download a fresh copy of
the ImageJ 1.34 application for Mac OS X. If that doesn't work,
download Java 5.0 from "http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/java/" and
switch to it using the Java Preference utility in
/Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE 5.0/.

Following your instructions to install and activate Java 5.0 fixed the problem.
