Java 6 is blocked on my Mac. Does not work even when enabled. Would upgrading to Lion and installing Java 7 fix this problem?
I'm using Mac OSX 10.6.8. Since the security update on April 16 I am not longer able to use the Java 6 plug-in. I need it for a weekly meeting with Microsoft Office Live Meeting. I have tried a workaround that suggested deleting the XProtect.meta.plist file, but that did not help. I understand there is a security risk, but it would be helpful if I could enable the Java plug-in just for my weekly meeting and then disable. Would the Java plug-in work if I upgrade to OSX 10.8 and installed Java 7?

This will allow you to run an older version of Java, and by making these changes, you understand the security implications of running old versions of JAVA. I had to do this at my job in order to run the required version of Java needed for our intranet TimeClock application.
1 System Preferences -> Security: Uncheck "Automatcially update safe downloads list". This will keep the system from re-disabling Java.
2 Browse to /System/Library/CoreServices/
3 Right click on CoreTypes.bundle and choose "Show Package Contents"
4 Continue navigating to /Contents/Resources/XProtect.meta.plist
5 Edit Xprotect.meta.plist to what is provided below. The things to change are highlighted in bold.
6 Save, and reload the page.
