Installing 10.3.9 somehow broke my java installation. Anyone had the same problem? I suspect I might have had a java program running when installing the 10.3.9 update.
Anyway the good news is that after a bit of tinkering I managed to fix the problem by reinstalling java.
The steps:
1. Dowload the Java142Update2 installation image from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/javaupdate142.html.
2. Copy Java142Update2.pkg from the image file to be able to edit it.
3. Show package contents.
4. Open Contents/Resources/VolumeCheck with TextEdit.
5. Comment out the whole if statement under the comment "# If 1.4, do not update".
6. Install the package.
