Updating java 7 causes launch to appear in application macro switch

Question

My Mac runs OS X 10.6. I used to have Java version 1.6.0_37 plus 1.7b06 installed, and the command line was set to 1.6.

I often build androids on the command line. Prior to installing the Java 1.7b09 update, they would run without the focus of the window ever coming out of the terminal window from which I called the assembly. Nothing would appear in the "application switcher".

AFTER installing 1.7b09, when I start the android assembly from the command line, a new application ("Launcher") appears in the application switch menu (tab command), and the window focus shifts from the terminal to this new Launcher application.

My question is: What setting should I twist in order to get back to how everything works before-1.7b09?

Answer 1

Java version 1.6 was deployed by Apple, however this has changed from Java version 1.7. Oracle is now responsible for deploying new releases .

By the way, Launcher is a sandboxed environment that has a default value in Java version 1.7. Personally, I think it's a bad idea to disable the sandbox setting. He exists for a reason .
