On Mac OS X 10.7, Java Control Panel crashes unexpectedly I'm wondering if this is a serious problem that I should be concerned about.

I have the latest version of Java installed (currently Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_212-b10) via command java -version).

I'm running Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. When I try to open the Java Control Panel by opening System Preferences and selecting Java, I get a spontaneous crash with the error: "Java Control Panel quit unexpectedly."



There's an error report that shows a lot of detailed information about the crash.

Is this an issue? And how can I fix this?
For your older version of OS X, you probably should have downloaded a legacy version of Java. Try this link: Download Java for OS X 2017-001
