Went to my terminal console and inside the amework directory modified the permissions to that directory to be accessible for all users by running the following command chmod -R 777 Versions.Īfter executing these actions I went straight to my JRE-Required software and attempted to open it, success!.Found out that all Apple's JRE previous releases reside on a directory called Versions that is within /System/Library/Frameworks/amework directory, here's where I noticed something rare, for some reason at the moment I restored file permissions from my Disk Utility Application, this directory was made inaccessible (By not giving the root user permissions to access anything in itself).My particular interest was the Java Runtime Environment, so I explored the JavaVM directory on /System/Library/Frameworks/.Located where Apple located their Java releases : /System/Library/Frameworks/.Installed Apple's last stable release from the following link.

After reading a bunch of articles about Apple no longer providing Java support themselves but Oracle providing it, reasoned through it and realized that perhaps paths (Often called directories) from Apple's final Java release may have not been strictly the same as the new Oracle releases, so decided to wipe out all recent Oracle Java Runtime Environment that I found on /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines and delete the Java Applet Plugin from /Applications (Just search for it on your /Applications path).After trying Peter's suggestion the problem persisted but now in another context : '/System/Library/Frameworks/amework' does not contain the JNI_CreateJavaVM symbol'Īfter struggling for many hours, and reading about people with the same issue opting to re-install the entire OS, decided to examine the issue from another perspective, the thing I first mentioned here that I believe went unnoticed was that I restored my permissions before this happening, so what I did was the following.
