Disable Java Auto Update Prompt for 1.7u25 on Mountain Lion
I'm having a heck of a time trying to disable the option "Check for updates Automatically"
I ran composer to see what plist was being modified and it looks like ~/Library/Preferences/com.oracle.javadeployment.plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>/com/oracle/javadeployment/</key>
<dict>
<key>deployment.macosx.check.update</key>
<string>false</string>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
So I experimented with changing that value to true or false and it would not effect the checkbox under the Java Control Panel > Update > Check for Updates Automatically
Your assistance would be much appreciated.
Initially I was looking @ /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
Open a Terminal and execute:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.oracle.java.Java-Updater JavaAutoUpdateEnabled -bool false
