OS X Security Update Messed up connection?
 

This terminal jargon doesn't mean much to me but I'll paste it at the end of this message. Ever since doing the last security update on OS 10.3.8 I have been unable to connect with any Gnutella programs. I tried flex, and it just opens and closes . Any suggestions? Is it a new JAVA issue?
Here is the terminal info:

Compiled java classes contain a version number put there by the compiler used.
The JavaVM you're trying to load the classes into, can't understand the particular class version created by the compiler.

I use Java 1.4 to compile which uses the class version 48.
It looks like the JavaVM you are trying to use is older then Java 1.4 or the Java installation is broken or mixed with other Java versions.
