Cannot get Java Web plugin to work in Safari.
I have been using the JAva web plugin for a while, and managed to get past the problem with the Oracle Java 7 plugin successfully, but today, the Java web plugin is not working for me at all, and I'm struggling to find out why.
When I visit java.com and run their detection page, afer about a minute, it comes back with "We are unable to verify if Java is currently installed and enabled in your browser."
I've followed the advice at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559 on how to re-enable the old Java 6 web plugin, I've tried reinstalling the Oracle plugin... but no matter what I do (restarting Safari, enabling disabling Java in Safari preferences, rebooting the Mac), I still cannot get it working in Safari.
This is a massive problem as website myself and my 20,000 colleagues use to log in to work remotely depends on the Java web plugin. Right now (as in this morning)... the only option I have is to use a different OS (i.e. Windows). 😠
Longer term, I really want to get this working on OS X again - any advice on further troubleshooting?
