Restoring Desktop Icons

If the ALL-PROES icon on your desktop disappears, these are the steps to restore it:

1) Click "Start", then "Run"
2) Type in "javaws -viewer" into the "Run" box (without the quotes, note the space between javaws and the dash)
3) The Java Cache Viewer should open up. Right click the application you want to restore icons for and click "Install shortcuts"

Mac OS 10.5.7 Leopard Startup failure after OS X 10.5.7 Java update

On June 16, 2009 Apple deployed an update to OS X 10.5.7 for Java via Software Updates. This update has performed some restructuring of the folder path to Java Web Start, and fails to retain the file in its' expected path of Applications - Utilities. Attempting to launch a ROES shortcut results in the icon bouncing on the dock and nothing else occurring.

To resolve these startup errors, using Finder go into the local hard drive and System - Library - CoreServices. Locate Java Web Start.app and copy it to the clipboard, then paste it into the Utilities folder under Applications. Using a web browser, go to the lab's web site and launch ROES. During the startup process, 2 warning windows will display - one to trust the application and another to allow it unrestricted access to the system. Click OK to both of these and ROES should open as normal. In rare cases, you may need to right-click on the launch.jnlp and choose Open With, then Browse to Java Web Start.app in Applications - Utilities. You can associate it with the Java Web Start.app in CoreServices, but at this time it is impossible to tell if the next Apple update for Java will keep it there.

Shortcut Issues:

Core 2 Duo Systems: To get a new shortcut, open Java Preferences.app from the same Utilities folder and click the Network tab, then click View cache at the lower right to bring up the Java Cache Viewer. Use the menu or icon to create a desktop application or shortcut as desired.

Core Duo and Non-Intel Mac: Shortcuts seem to be able to be created but WILL NOT EXECUTE. You must run from the lab's ROES link on their web site or from their ROES listed in the Java Cache Viewer, accessed from Finder in Applications - Utilities and open Java Preferences.app. In the Network tab, click View to open the Java applications list.\
