Using deployJava.js ?

First, I assume deployJava.createWebStartLaunchButton() is going to work on OSX for Java 7.  Am I correct?  When can we test that an install occurs?

2nd, I am confused about what this OS X operating system change is.  What is actually going to do the JRE install, the OS or the Java script?

3rd, ( a little off topic), I am in the process of building download webpages, & listing any browser caveats.  Chome does not actually launch the jnlp, which is easy enough to describe a work around.  Unfortunately, at page load of a file with deployJava.js a question overlay is brought up "Java needs your permission to run."  I cannot find where responding negatively or just ignoring it has any effect.  Is any code really running at page load?  Do I need to un-install Java 7 (Windows) to make sure it always installs regardless of answer?  What a pain that thing is.

Thanks,

Jeff Palmer
