Mac OS JNLP/Deployment Toolkit

Great news today about Mac OS having full JRE 7 and JavaFX 2.2 support (though still no offer to download at java.com).
Does anyone know if it is yet possible to have a JNLP (or Deployment Toolkit invocation) that will auto-download Java 7 + JFX 2.2? If so, please share a sample JNLP or JavaScript.
I current have this in my JNLP (but it is not happy if I change it to 1.7+):
<resources>
<j2se version="1.6+" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se" />
<jfx:javafx-runtime version="2.2+" href="http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/GetFile/javafx-latest/windows-i586/javafx2.jnlp"/>
<jar href="MyJar.jar.pack.gz" main="true" download="eager" />
</resources>

Currently there is no auto-download support for MacOS yet. (windows only for now)
But Deployment Toolkit (DT) script should auto-detect and re-direct user to manual download if needed. The script is designed to work on all supported platform.
Documentation and examples on DT/deployment are here:
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/deployment/deployment_toolkit.htm#BABJHEJA
Also, using 1.7+ in your JNLP should work. What is the error you receive when you use 1.7+ ? Does the machine have 7u6 installed ?
my example:
<resources>
<jfx:javafx-runtime version="2.2+" href="http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/
GetFile/javafx-latest/windows-i586/javafx2.jnlp"/>
<j2se version="1.7+" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se"/>
<jar href="BrickBreaker.jar" size="728341" download="eager"/>
</resources>

App-V 5.0 SP2 (Office Deployment Toolkit) - Unable to create Project and Visio with different package ID

We would like to create 2 App-V packages with the
Office Deployment Tool
- Visio Std 2013
- Project Std 2013.
The App-V packages are created successfully, the problem is that the package-id of both packages is the same.
When we deploy for example, Visio to a client and afterwards Project, Visio gets replaced in App-V by Project.
Is anyone else facing this issue ?

So I wanted to bring everybody up to speed on some changes. You can manage multiple Office packages by generating different PACKAGEGUID attributes (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219426.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396)
using the Office Deployment Toolkit BUT - the following still applies:
Only one Office package can be deployed to a machine at a time.
Only VL and Subscription Pro options are available for packaging via App-V.

Steve is there any chance this stance may change, or is there any feedback we can give (we have already followed up with our TAM and have also put in tickets but effectively have not gone anywhere other then to explain what the model of support is)?
To be perfectly honest its a very hard model to support since users are licenses for Visio and Project separately, not to mention the lack of user publishing (targeting) and Office Standard support.
We have put in advisory and problem tickets with MS for months in hopes of using the ODT packages in our non persistent VDI environment but I don't believe it will possible.
In short if we have to separate our images or pools to support the various possibilities we are losing what App-V gains us: on demand (per user) publishing to limit the number of gold images we need.
The loss of Office Standard support also leaves us in a tricky spot, because at the end of the day we have to find a way to support those users.
Not looking to put you on the spot, just hoping there is a way to give effective feedback or discuss how to use the ODT packages in a way that makes life easier, not more restrictive.

Removing the Java Deployment Toolkit?

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to remove the Deployment ToolKit .dll from the machine or disable it in browser within an infrastructure? I wanted to see if there are any other functionality that could be impacted I remove the deployJava1.dll from my machine or disable it in browser?
The link below shows the following information regarding blocking or removing.
What is the Java Deployment Toolkit?
What happens if the Java Deployment Toolkit plug-in is blocked?
By blocking the Java DT plug-in, the Java version detection mechanism is disabled. Therefore, when a user tries to launch a Java applet or application, that requires a specific Java version other than the active Java version on a user’s system, it will fail.
Does this mean the application will break? Or just that the detection mechanism will be broken for the application version check and the app will still run? I would like to remove these bits to ensure no version checking is done on my systems.
Thanks,
Michael

Your "More System Details" doesn't show any Java plugin at all. Are you sure you have the current version installed? This test page will lead you to a download if needed:
http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp
If you have Java installed, check whether its two plugins (Java Platform SE and Java Deployment Toolkit) are set to "Never Activate" on the Add-ons page. That disables them. Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Note that disabled plugins cluster at the bottom of the list.

Where is the JDK7 Deployment Toolkit?

According to the release notes of Dolphin EA build 13, the build contains the Deployment Toolkit JavaScript fixed under bug id 6500417:
http://download.java.net/jdk7/changes/jdk7-b13.html
I have installed this build but I cannot find anything to do with kit - does anyone know where it is?
I'm just about to go into an applet based project and I want to nail the detect/install/deploy problems once and for all, hence I would really like to kick the tyres of the Deployment Toolkit.
Regards,
Chris.

Firefox plug-in: Java Deployment Toolkit

JRE 6u17 (probably older versions as well) install for Firefox the plug-in as in stated in subject.
What is this plug-in good for?
What functionality will the user miss if he/she decides to deactivate/uninstall the java deployment toolkit?

Contrary to what BIJ001 suggests, the Java Deployment Toolkit Plugin is installed in Java SE 6 Update 10 and above.
More info for the Java Deployment Toolkit Plugin can be found at:
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/6u10faq.jsp#DT
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/deployment_advice.html
Ever since Java 6 Update 10, an NPAPI plugin and an ActiveX control (npdeploytk.dll and deploytk.dll, respectively) have both been installed by default with the JRE.
You should be able to find them under one or more of these folders (there are other locations you may find them on your drive):
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin (both)
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\new_plugin (npdeploytk.dll only)
C:\WINDOWS\system32 (deploytk.dll only)
The this new functionality is the focus of attention for 2 recent vulnerabilities:

I "allowed" Java Deployment Toolkit, it made me upgrade java, and now there are ads everywhere

I was doing homework on masteringgenetics and there was this box in the top left hand corner that said to allow java deployment toolkit because some of the content on the website needed it so I clicked "always allow". This then took me to java's website to update java and I was gullible so I did. Now there are random ads on most websites I go to and if I stay on there it takes me to some random website. I've tried disabling all plugins, uninstalling java, uninstalling then reinstalling firefox, but it still happened. It doesn't happen when I use google chrome so I think it's a firefox thing (actually now it's happening on chrome too).

Oracle may be bundling other software with a Java update, so always be careful when installing or updating programs like Java and Flash and look carefully for any check boxes to installs such unwanted extras.
You can check in "Windows Control Panel > Programs" for recently installed programs (sort by installed time) to see if any suspicious software shows up.

Java Deployment Toolkit and

Hi,
I use deployment toolkit (http://www.java.com/js/deployJava.txt ) in my project. When JVM is not installed it goes to Java download page, user downloads it, installs, and then my original page is refleshed. And now I have problems with this refreshing after installing Java:
- urls containing # (eg. http://www.mypage.com/#/?someParamForJavascript=somevalue - typical in AJAX applications) are treated as just http://www.mypage.com
- urls using https:// scheme (eg. https://www.mypage.com) are redirected to something like http://https//www.mypage.com
My current workaround involves a redirecting servlet and some JavaScript code:
deployJava.returnPage = "http://www.mypage.com/RedirectServlet".replace(":7002/", ":7001/") // for testing under WebLogic
+ "?to=" + encodeURIComponent(window.location);
But it's very ugly workaround. Is there a better one?
For me it looks like a bug in the deployment toolkit. Where should I post such bugs, is there some bugzilla for deployment toolkit, or something like that?

Same thing is happening to me, and I have no solution either.

Java deployment toolkit

My Java (TM) Platform SE 6 U23 6.0230.5 is disabled because it's known to cause security problems. Should I also disable Java Deployment Toolkit 6.0.230.5? Both are listed in the plug in section. Also Java Quickstarter 1.o is disabled in the extension section. Should it be?

I would update the JRE and JDT to the latest versions, which are 6 update 31. Or you can update to the version 7 branch, which is update 3. That will enable them for you and keep you safe from security issues. [http://www.java.com www.java.com] is where you can get them.

Java Deployment Toolkit and Japanese

I can't figure out how to enable Japanese in Firefox. Since following existing tutorials yielded no positive results, I tried installing the latest Java, but that only made things worse. Now I have two problems:
I still can't view Japanese characters.
I can't uninstall the Java Deployment Toolkit plugin.
The tutorials I've found on uninstalling the plugin don't work because I don't have the options they say to use. I'm using Firefox version 24.0 on Windows XP.

I only see the Java Deployment Toolkit plugin listed in the Add-ons

Hello everyone,
I only have Java Deployment Toolkit plugin 7.0.110.21 listed and enabled, and not Java Platform SE.
I tried the steps under: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Enabling_Java, but nothing works.
Help! :-)

hello, in some instances firefox may not be able to detect that the java plugin is installed, because oracle made an error in registering the java plugin for mozilla-based browsers in version 7u10 & 7u11... this will apparently just be fixed with its 7u13 release.

Adobe Deployment Toolkit - premiere pro CS4 with sms 2003

Hi I have followed all the Adobe Deployment Toolkit instructions and
the AdobeUberInstaller.exe will run in a command line mode fine , but
can't get it work in sms 2003.I have the program path as suggested \AdobeUberInstaller.exe but I see an error exit code of 1 on the failed install ie failed to parse command line.
Any ideas, or anyone had success with this depolyment?

I have only 12 GB. There is however a sound reason for that amount and not 24 or even more. A PC is only as good as it's weakest link. Usually that are the mechanical parts, meaning disks. And there is always a budget limitation. And there is availability of parts.
With all these restrictions, only 6 DIMM slots, and the limited choice of DDR3-10600 sticks in anything other than 2 GB sticks (just looking today I was not able to find any 4 GB sticks, apart from Kingston Value RAM in ECC edition with CL9 at triple the price of 2 GB), I considered it better to invest in disks than a long search for very expensive memory sticks.
These considerations make that the most logical amount of memory today is 12 GB and not 24 or more, at least on mobo's with only 6 DIMM slots.
Would Adobe use more than 12 GB, even up to xx GB, well I don't know, but the diminishing returns of the extra memory at very high prices make it more logical and economical to invest in a good disk setup.

MICROSOFT DEPLOYMENT TOOLKIT 2013 DO I NEED LICENSE TO INSTALL THIS SOFTWARE IN MY COMPUTER

TO INSTALL MICROSOFT DEPLOYMENT TOOLKIT 2013 DO I NEED ANY MICROSOFT LICENSE,
I HAVE WINDOWS 7 & 2008 R2 LICENSES.
Many Thanks & Best Regards, K.SURESH

Hello Suresh,
MDT 2013, itself, doesn't require any license to install (apart from your OS license). Please see the below link:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=40796
if you plan to use MS System Center ZTI for deployment, then you would require a licensed system center installation (along with a licesnsed back end SQL installation). However, MDT won't require any license.
Hope that answers you query. Please mark this as answer if it answers your query. Please upvote.

Difference between Java Deployment Toolkit Plug-in and deployJava.js

I was reading this article:
http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/deployment_toolkit.xml
and I get confused about the purpose and use of the DT Plug-in and the deployJava.js.
I always believe that the Deployment Toolkit is the set of functions of the deployJava.js file (like this link says: http://blogs.oracle.com/thejavatutorials/entry/deployment_toolkit_101) but according to the article there are two parts of the Deployment Toolkit: the Plug-in and the interface for the developer.
I'm asking about all of this because the deployJava.js fails to detect the appropriate version of Java in some of the machines of our users and I was wondering if the DT Plug-in could help us improve the detection, but I don't know how exactly it detects the Java version and when it does it or how can I use it to solve detection problems?
Most of this doubts are driven by the question in the article:
"Does deployJava.js work if the Java DT Toolkit plug-in is disabled? Yes, deployJava.js contains some pure JavaScript functions, which will continue to work even if the Java DT Toolkit plug-in is disabled."
So... why do I need the deployJava.js if the DT Plug-in exists or vice versa?
Any help on this matter would be very appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Deployment toolkit is combination of native library and javascript helpers. javascript is the only official public API to native library.
JRE is installed with DT native library that is left on the system if JRE is uninstalled.
As of now DT native library is only available on Windows.
Javascript helper functions use native library if it is available but many actions can be performed (with degraded accuracy, etc.) even if native library is not present.
Note that there is new Javascript APIs for DT as alternative to deployJava.js. it is called [dtjava.js|http://download.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/deployment/deployment_toolkit.htm#BABJHEJA] and is primary API for JavaFX applications.
However, it also supports pure Java apps and likely will be main JS API for DT going forward (some more testing and bug fixing may be needed).
Hope this helps to clarify the relationship.

Why does Firefox still tell me it's blocking Java Deployment Toolkit after I did the update?

On the "Mozilla - Check Your Plugins" webpage, I was told that the " Java Deployment Toolkit" was vulnerable. So I did the update. But afterwards I was still told the same problem. Why? And should I care?
Please see the attached screenshot.
The funny thing is... I visited two sites that use Java, one being Java.com, but I did not see the black banner message of blocking.

The Java Deployment Toolkit may be the latest version, but Oracle still hasn't fixed the security faults with that plugin; so Mozilla still has it on the Blocklist and disables it so far as to require the user to use "Ask to Activate". ''A "soft-block" - usable if needed, but needs user-action per implementation''.
Specifically, do you have a program on your PC that actually needs that Deployment Toolkit?
Or is your concern merely that it is disabled after updating Java?
Very few consumer applications even use that Deployment Toolkit, which is intended for people who develop Java applications or who use applications such as various Oracle programs in the workplace.
Going back to before Oracle bought out Sun Systems Java in 2010, that Deployment Toolkit wasn't being installed with the Java Runtime Environment for users. Java developers had to install a separate Developers Toolkit to get that Plugin - the SDK program had it.
