Description Darin Wright CLA 2010-10-21 11:28:49 EDT 
According to the latest release notes for Mac OS, the way JRE detection is performed needs to be updated:

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#releasenotes/Java/JavaSnowLeopardUpdate3LeopardUpdate8RN/NewandNoteworthy/NewandNoteworthy.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010380-CH4-SW1

We should be using "/usr/libexec/java_home -xml" to obtain XML output describing installed JREs.
