Java applications do not work

Hi, I have just installed the update "Java for OS X 2012-006 and Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 11" and most of my Java applications do not work. Is there anything I can do to bring them back to live. Thanks.

Cheers,

Hi,

thanks for your help. I have installed Java 7 from Oracle but the applications do not work. It appears that it is a problem with the user interface. For instance, in one of the applications, the following message apears in Terminal: "Could not initialize GUI(java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException@java.awt.EventQueue.invokeAndWa it(EventQueue.java:1242))" Could it be that the application itself works with Java 7 nut the GUI does not? Do I need to install also Java 1.6? I did not see the option in Java from Oracle web page.


Cheers,


Pino
