In case you need the, here are rollback steps for Snow Leopard, one per line. All from Terminal (sorry, I can't quite figure out the formatting for code in this editor):

cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/
sudo unlink CurrentJDK
sudo ln -s 1.6.0 CurrentJDK

Then go into the Java Preferences and move the 'Java SE 6' to the top of the list for Java Applications.

Hi,

Glad to hear that !

Best regards.

Hi,

This "$" mark means a prompt to execute some command line by Terminal.app.

It displays the parent directory name, white space, user name, and "$".

(host name):(parent directory name) (user name)$

For example,

popy-mac :~ Popy$

popy-mac :Users Popy$

What is your parent directory now?

You can find out the absolute pathname of your current-directory by typing pwd command.

$ pwd

Next typing

$ cd ..

will take you one directory up the hierarchy.

Typing this command a few times will take you a root-directory.

(host name):/ (user name)$

For example, when you arrived to the root-directory, the prompt will look something like this -

popy-mac :/ Popy$

Then you type

$ cd ./System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/

and

$ sudo mv 1.5.0 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/J2SE5

...

again.

Popy,

thanks a lot!

Workbench is working again!

If it helps, there's another way to install Java 1.5 without having to mess with command line, which has as follows:

0. Using the finder, navigate in the system disk /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions and delete folders 1.5 and 1.5.0. These are just links, deleting them won't harm the system. If you don't feel sure enough to delete them, you can just move them out of there (eg by dragging them on the desktop), but as I said, it's safe to delete them.

1. Download and install Pacifist (a utility that opens pkg files) from http://www.charlessoft.com/ . (it's a shareware utility that can be used without having to pay for it, of course -as always- you may consider buying it if you feel you need it for regular use).

2. Download Java 1.5 from the URL Popy gave, i.e. from http://support.apple.com/downloads/Java_for_Mac_OS_X_10_5_Update_5

3. Doubleclick on downloaded file (JavaForMacOSX10.5Update5.dmg) so that it gets mounted.

4. Doubleclick on new drive that will appear on desktop.The new window that will open, should only contain one file, the JavaForMacOSX10.5Update5.pkg.

5. Rightclick on JavaForMacOSX10.5Update5.pkg, and choose "open with Pacifist"

6. In Pacifist, click on Contents, System, Library, Frameworks, JavaVM.framework, Versions.

7. Under "Versions" (in Pacifist) you will see folders and files 1.3, 1.3.1 1.4, 1.4.2 etc etc. Select 1.5 and 1.5.0 (shift-click on those two), right click on any of them and choose (from the pop-up menu) the option "Install to Default Location"

That's it! now you have 1.5 Java installed.

In order to choose which java will be used on your system, go to Utilities/Java Preferences and drag J2SE 5.0 32-bit so that it will appear first on the list on Java Applications  order.

That's it, Workbench will work, and without having to type a single command line!

Hope this help,

once again thanks Popy for providing the solution!

Way to go, Poppy!

I'm wondering, how the heck did I get that version of Java installed after moving to 10.6.. Another of those mysteries, like socks heaven and such.

Glad to read that this solution is working for everyone.

But I have a question. In my case, although I can work with both Line 6 Edit and Workbench, they never finish loading properly AND the only way to quit any of them is to Force Quit.

By "never finish loading properly", I mean that the loading dialog/banner/whatever, remains in the background in a "still loading" state. But the software works.

Anyone having the same experience?

Cheers

I bought an XT Live on ebay & It has a bunch of prsets that I wanted to reset.

then I looked at all the stuff I am supposed to do with it, Now I find out that I can't do most of the stuff concerning updates & transfers.

Unless I have solid command of terminal I guess.

VERY FRUSTRATING.

Got the workaround & have been able to set it up, THANKS GUYS, just a shame that the solution came from a customer, & that they still have their heads collectively up their A*#es as to actually putting some fixed software up. It seems that it's only a Java issue for christ sakes.

Anyway, thanks to all who helped.

I agree!

All my software now is 10.6 compatible except anything from LIne6.

I have given up on my POD XT Live and got myself a G-System from TC Electronic. And i'll never look back.

Still, I need the Variax Workbench to work in 10.6, since there's no alternative to the Variax.

Oh and by the way, after I gave up the POD, I've rediscovered what a beautiful tone my guitar and amp have. Incredible!
