Not able to generate itr xml from java utility in apple macbook

Yes, same problem is faced by many tax payers with Java utility for ITR3_Version2, even with windows having google chrome or explorer as browser.

Contact helpline for any solution.....

The java utility on MAC seems to only work with Java version 8 update 51. Later Java versions (9, 10) seem to be incompatible. 

This is how I got it working: Downloaded Java 8 Update 51 from the link below and installed it. The installed java binaries are stored in  /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java. Created a temporay link called javaold using the following command: 

sudo ln -s /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java javaold

And edited the ITR.sh file to use javaold instead of java. This way I kept my updated version of java working as well. 

Crux of the matter is that you have to downgrade to an older version of java for the ITR utility to work. Hope this helps.
