I just ran a Java update (to Java 8 v 25), and now, the MultiTerm add/edit function is blocked. Again... I get a message saying: Application Blocked by Java Security. I'm no genious at changing settings, can anybody help me, please?

I am having this problem today. Apparently, Java considers MultiTerm to be an "Untrusted Application". But downloading the SDLJavaCleanup.exe file doesn't work - despite following the KB instructions exactly it says "Login or password incorrect!". So, more time wasted. Strangely, none of the other programs I have that use Java have any problem. | | | 564354352 (X) Denmark Local time: 23:10 Danish to English + ... TOPIC STARTER Did you use 'hotfix' as the password, John? | Oct 17, 2014 |
MultiTerm actually works even better on my computer after I ran the Cleanup Tool, as it has stopped asking me to confirm that I want to run the application every time I want to add or edit a term. But I agree: I have never had any Java problems with any other application either... very strange and unique SDL issue, it seems... P.S. I'm no expert at all, but maybe your security setting is too high for this issue to be fixed?

Yes, I used the 'hotfix' password. But the new Java 8 version 25 only has High and Very High security settings. A new Studio update says it's supposed to solve the problem, but it still seems to be there.

So there's definitely some shortcoming in SDL's coding. ▲ Collapse | | | 564354352 (X) Denmark Local time: 23:10 Danish to English + ... TOPIC STARTER Hotfix reverts to Java 6 v 26!!!! NOT A SOLUTION | Oct 19, 2014 |
I started having trouble with other Java applications after I wrote yesterday, and checking just now, I can see that what the hotfix did was to REMOVE Java 8 v 25 and install Java 6 v 26!!! I apologise, I should have doublechecked before posting my joyful result here.

Also make sure you use the 32-bit version and not the 64-bit version. In terms of fixes for this problem. Studio 2014 SP2, due next month, does not require Java at all.

Does this mean you can now do something about termbase selection when adding terms on the fly? | |

.. but I don't believe in this initial release. Removing Java from Studio and MultiTerm was not a trivial exercise and whilst there are some immediate benefits that you will see once the release is published, other than the removal of Java itself, this just a start.

Regards Paul Thanks for taking the time to reply, Paul. I tend to organise my work by customer projects and often use several termbases for specific jobs. It would be nice to be able to add terms to one of them without having to change the default.
