OK so I rolled back to Java 1.6 per the instructions but now the Java icon doesn't work in system pref's anymore. Not sure if that will cause a problem but it would be nice if that button worked again. Is there a fix for this?
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
The Apple Java does not install a preference panel like those from Oracle.
Thanks for the heads up Kappy. Do you know how to remove the button from Sys Pref's? The newer version of Java was saved per the instructions so I guess the Icon will come back if necessary when I upgrade again. I rolled back for PhpStorm IDE which doesn't seem to like the most recent version of Java from Oracle.

You need to download the uninstaller for the Oracle version you installed from the Oracle site.
Thanks Kappy it's all good...
