Apple does it again! (java update)
Ok, I see there are a few posts on apple pushing a Java update from 1.6.0_35 to 1.6.0_37. This removed the Java preferences, it is not there in System Settings for me as some are saying it is for them on OSX 10.6. Another thing missing is javaws so I can no longer open jnlp files. This has left me dead in the water running critical apps to do my job. I can use timemachine to go back but I do have some work I would need to go back and deal with.
Makes me wonder why Apple does such things (in the name of security), without giving us the option of going back. I did not explicitly install this update, as I have learned not to, but did update a printer driver. Now I have 1.6.0_37.
So is there a way to go back to 1.6.0_35 without a timemachine restore? Is there a way to get javaws for 1.6.0_37? Is there anyone at Apple that cares to know that they are making their users lives miserable with some of their decisions? I thought that their mantra was to be elegant and simple but fighting these fires after updates is nothing but agrevating.
