restart disables javaws again

Today after restart the javaws refused to work again (after been fixed 2 months ago with http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559).

Removed the plugin JavaAppletPlugin.plugin again, and still didn't work.

the symbolic link for /usr/bin/javaws was stil active:

$ ls -l /usr/bin/javaws

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 64 Oct 23 11:20 /usr/bin/javaws -> /System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle/Contents/MacOS/javaws


Starting javaws from command line with url shows:


Java Web Start splash screen process exiting .....

Bad installation. No JRE found in configuration file: No such file or directory


Anybody knows the fix for this one ? (advise don't restart before you know the fix).

Does anyone know what the update actually did? I mean to reverse engineer on individual systems by hand? This morning my systme had the Java Web Start disabled in the preference panel. I reactivated it, logged out and back in. Still my .jnlp file won't launch. From command line, just opening the view showed this:


$ /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Commands/javaws -viewer

Java Web Start splash screen process exiting .....

Bad installation. No JRE found in configuration file


And a normal execution initiates the System Software Update, which has nothing naturally.


Could it be a configuration file we can edit to reinstate the correct indication to the JRE?
