Wanted to share this Apple Java Update with the community.
[quote="<a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5493">http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5493</a>"]This release updates the Apple-provided system Java SE 6 to version 1.6.0_37 and is for OS X versions 10.7 or later.
This update uninstalls the Apple-provided Java applet plug-in from all web browsers. To use applets on a web page, click on the region labeled “Missing plug-in” to go download the latest version of the Java applet plug-in from Oracle.
This update also removes the Java Preferences application, which is no longer required to configure applet settings.[/quote]
General Notes:
[ul]
[li]Oracle offers JRE 7 for OS X users[/li][li]JRE 7 requires a 64-bit browser (Safari or Firefox are the available options; Chrome is 32-bit only)[/li][/ul]
How this impacts OS X / CM System users:
[ul]
[li]Safari users cannot use mouse wheel to scroll in Ephox EditLive (CM System 7.1)[/li][li]Firefox users can use mouse wheel to scroll in Ephox EditLive[/li][li]Firefox users still experience right click bug in Content Explorer[/li][/ul]
Have you installed Java for OS X 2012-006 and need to revert the changes?
[ol]
[li]Find a copy of “/System/Library/Java/Support/CoreDeploy.bundle/Contents/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin” before the update was installed (PM me if you need a 10.7 copy)[/li][li]Close all your browsers[/li][li]Back up the following items[/li][ul]
[li]/System/Library/Java/Support/CoreDeploy.bundle/Contents/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin[/li][li]/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin[/li][/ul]
[li]Replace /System/Library/Java/Support/CoreDeploy.bundle/Contents/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin with your copy from before the update was installed.[/li][li]Re-establish the symbolic link to /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin[/li]
sudo ln -s /System/Library/Java/Support/CoreDeploy.bundle/Contents/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
[/ol]
Users will need to create/modify .java.policy at the user home directory (~) . The file must contain the following:
grant {
permission java.net.SocketPermission
"address-to-cm-system:1-",
"connect, accept";
};
address-to-cm-system can be replaced with your system’s address. 1- can be replaced with the exact cm system port number (e.g. 9992)
Good luck.
