Bug Report (Bug ID: 7189314):
==========


Synopsis:
-------------
Typo, wrong Symlink path to JavaControlPanel.prefPane on Mac OS X port of JDK7 Update 6 Build 22


Full OS version:
----------------------
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)


Development Kit or Runtime version:
--------------------------------------------------
$ /usr/libexec/java_home --exec java -version
java version "1.7.0_06"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_06-b22)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.2-b09, mixed mode)


Description:
----------------
The Symlink to the Preference Pane in /Library/PreferencePanes is set falsely by the installer. There is a typo in it which prevents the PreferencePane to be launched.

ATTENTION:

INCORRECT is (as time of writing):

sudo ln -s /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/lib/deploy/JavaControlPanel.prefpane /Library/PreferencePanes/JavaControlPanel.prefpane

CORRECT would be:

sudo ln -s /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/lib/deploy/JavaControlPanel.prefPane /Library/PreferencePanes/JavaControlPanel.prefPane

REMEMBER:
Remember the lower "p" (incorrect) versus the upper "P" (correct) in the word "prefpane" (incorrect) versus "prefPane" (correct) of the phrase "JavaControlPanel.prefPane"
