Lates Java update renders all my Java apps inoperable

I just downloaded/installed the latest Java update.
jEdit, JDiskReport, jDiskUsage - the list goes on - all my Java apps fail.
Here's what I get in my system.log when I try to launch, say ... jEdit ...

alright, i think i found a fix here:
http://renderfast.com/2008/09/26/java-for-mac-update-2-leaves-some-java-apps-bro ken/

"Someone in the Apple forums pointed out that simply copying the destination of the jEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/jedit symlink, which points to

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Resources/MacOS/JavaAppli cationStub

back into jEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/jedit (replacing the symlink with a copy) also makes the jEdit application bundle work again. This method has considerably fewer steps than mine.

Apparently this file is functionally the same as the one generated by Jar builder. It seems Java developers went for the symlink method specifically to avoid problems created whenever Apple would go and update Java. With this update the symlink doesn’t seem to work again."

hope this helps!
