However, when I try to start it, it reverts back to "Java stopped". When I try to install MinimServer, I get the message: "Failed to install MinimServer. Java is not installed or properly configured. Download and install the Java Synology package."

It might help if you reboot the NAS and then try installing MinimServer.

Nope. Just rebooted then tried to start Java, and can't. So still no installation of Minimserver. What's really annoying is that it's been working perfectly for the past year or so, until the latest upgrade to DSM 6. I can still use Media Server, but as I'm sure you agree, MinimServer was so much faster and better. Maybe I'll just have to wait until Synology come out with another fix.
