[ale] help with java crash

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

Hi all,

I've been trying to avoid using java since all these problems have been 
happening with security.  I've actually uninstalled it on all my Windows 
machines.  However, there are a few web apps which require it.

I was running a mint 13 vm in virtualbox.  It has the default java 
system, which I believe is openjdk 6.  I go to java.com, click do I have 
java?, then verify java version.  It crashes and locks up not only the 
tab in firefox but essentially the whole browser.  It also locks up when 
I try to access the web app I'm wanting to use.  Anybody know why it 
would do that?  Is there any alternative other than installing Oracle Java?

Sincerely,

Ron
