MacOS Sierra #104

Are there known issues with JES and Sierra? I'm using JES in class, and some students using sierra seem to have issues. For example:

Typing def in JES causes it to hang pickAFile() causes a system dialog box to appear, but doesn't return anything

I'm checking to see if these issues are specific to the individual students, but so far the students having the issues are all running sierra.

I'm running Sierra and haven't seen either of those issues.

Check what version of Java they're running. They'll have to be sure to install the older version of Java. JES still requires the MacOS "legacy" Java install. I think this is the link they need: https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572?locale=en_US

So JES 4.3 app is now 9 years old.... and requires downloading a very old Java runtime. Would it really be that hard to update it? What is the issue that requires Java 1.6?
