Manually install the Java Runtime Environment

On October 16, 2012 Apple has started to disable Java applets in Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8:

If you installed any maintenance updates for Mac OS X after that date, Java applets won't work.

You have to download and install the Java Runtime Environment yourself from
