Anyone know why I keep seeing this java terminal box in my dock?
There doesn't seem to be any pattern to it, it just occasionally turns up in my dock. I just bought this MBP 6 weeks ago. I've had 6 previous MBPs and never had this happen before.

If you used setup assistant or migration assistant, more than likely it followed you.

Thanks. I followed the steps in the link article you attached.
I found:
No Java items in the first step: /Library/Internet Plug-ins/
No java items in the second step: Library/PreferencePanes/
One Java folder in the third step: /Library/Application Support/Java
I moved it to trash and emptied the trash.
Now I wait and see, I guess, if this will still keep happening, or if I've removed something I actually needed.
Thank you again.
R.
And.... it's back. I'm baffled. No idea where this is coming from.
Did you run this command line from Terminal?
