Apple tells us that they have fixed the behavior in the upcoming 10.3.9 release. The symptom that J/Link users will see is that InstallJava[] will hang depending on certain details of their networking configuration. In the meantime, download J/Link 3.0.2 from http://www.wolfram.com/solutions/mathlink/jlink, which incorporates a workaround for the problem. The 3.0.2 version of J/Link is identical to the 3.0.1 version that ships with Mathematica 5.1.1, except for this one fix for OS/X 10.3.8. Todd Gayley Wolfram Research
