I'm having trouble resolving what you mean by $HOME.  I'm used to it meaning on 
Windows the same thing as the user.home property, which is:
c:\Users\MyUserName\
but I don't see anything there, even looking with "Hide protected operating 
system files" disabled.

Can you help point me in the right direction?

If the log doesn't solve this problem I'd be glad to file a bug report, but 
unfortunately this came right before we begin 2 weeks of conferences at which 
we'll be exhibiting all day and not doing any programming.  Hopefully we won't 
be dead in the water in terms of Java working locally.  The 7u25 problem also 
happened right before another major presentation, so this is the second 
short-deadline crisis we've had with Java updates and such crises are the sort 
of thing that will get Java a bad reputation with developers.  

If we are using Java 8 build 111 are we safe from forced updates, and can 
resolve this in a less time pressured environment?

Check the log files in $HOME/.java/deployment/log directory. Perhaps 
some messages aren't appearing in the console for some reason.

Otherwise, I would suggest to please file a bug so we can look into it 
further: http://bugs.sun.com/

Thanks,
