Crashplan JRE update needed
Crashplan released an update on 21 September 2015 (4.4.0) which fails to install on my pro-6 (running 4.2.28).
The issue is that the new service requires jre 1.7 or jre 1.8, and my system was r...

The installer I used put java 1.8 in /usr/local/bin/java Java 1.6 is in /usr/bin/java.
So I also needed to change JAVACOMMON in install.vars. Crashplan has now upgraded to version 4.4.0. I still need to upgrade the client app on the PC, but so far it looks like the update issue is solved.
(Crashplan hasn't yet provided a 4.4.0 download, which is why the client can't be updated).
This is such an excellent thread with perfect and succinct instructions that made it almost fun to fix this problem on my Ultra 2. Thanks StephenB!
(Well, I don't know yet whether it's really fixed (I will know when crashplan attempts another update), but I have no reason to believe that it didn't work.
One litle additional info, in case anyone is wondering: usr/local/bin/java is a symlink to /etc/frontview/addons/bin/EJRE/ejdkl.8.0_51/linux_i586/jre/bin/
Hm, the only thing I don't understand is why the java installation in that path is dated from 2015-06-25. Maybe the installation failed? Apparently not, since the /etc/frontview/addons/bin/EJRE/ejdk1.8.0_51/linux_i586/jre/release gives me JAVA_VERSION="1.8.0_51".
Anyway. I'll see what happens in a day or two.
Mine has the same date, I don't think its a real problem. I suspect the directory is extracted from the tar.gz, and that the extraction preserved the date.
The old java is still there, so you do need to update JAVACOMMON as posted above.
