So, I’ve discovered that some of my Java web apps have stopped functioning after applying the java update released by Apple on October 16th, 2012.

The tech notes indicate that Apple has removed the web app plug-in from OS X and that you need to download it from Oracle directly.

The problem with this is that Oracle only offers a 7x version of the plug-in and my apps require a 6x version, which I haven’t been able to find.

So, can anybody point me to where I could find a copy of JavaAppletPlugin.plugin that I believe existed in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ prior to being destroyed?

And no, there is no chance that the vendor will be providing an updated version of the software which is compatible with Java 7 anytime soon.

Thanks All.

    It took a while to find this, but the solution to this issue can be found via this helpdesk article from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559

    Here something important to note. I’ve found that even after following these steps I still have problems when attempting to open a .jnlp file from within the Mac OSX user interface. To successfully load a java web start program, you’ll probably have to switch to the terminal then execute the following code (username$ is just the prompt for terminal newbies):

    username$ javaws /path/to/file.jnlp

    Feel free to contact me with any questions.
