abort() called

and etc... I disable "safe mode" in preferances, but this won't help. Anyone has solution for this? Java 8 udate 101. tnx

Answer 1

I solved my issues by downloading a pre-release of Java. I was having trouble with Attachmate's Reflection for the web. The Java bugs seem to be corrected in Version 8 Update 122. Earlier, I had tried Version 9, but it seemed a little buggy.

Answer 2

I had the same issue with the latest sierra update - try downloading JDK 9 (download here)
