Mike, JLink`Information`$Version _is_ the correct way to get the version number. I'm curious as to why you think this isn't version 3.0.2 despite that. If it's the line in the Release Notes, well that is, er, a typo. >In =System`Private`FindFile["JLink`"] >Out=/Applications/Mathematica 5.1.app/AddOns/JLink/JLink.m > >Bottom line is that this package does not allow J/Link to work on my Mac >(Mathematica V5.1, G4 Mac running OS X 10.3.8).

If you indeed have installed 3.0.2 correctly and still see the problem, then perhaps the original bug is more complex than we realized. I will send you separately some tests to try to help us figure out what is going on. I invite others with Mac OS/X 10.3.8 who cannot get InstallJava[] to work in Mathematica 5.1 to contact support at wolfram.com to let us know whether the 3.0.2 version did or did not fix the problem for you.
