Completely understand your frustration, but I think a fresh installation of Mac OS might not be the only choice. I had similar problem on Mac before -- after upgrade java to 1.6UXX, Taverna stopped working along with some other java-based applications. As mentioned in previous email, one can always go to java preference to change the version of JVM, and that indeed worked.

After compounding this error with a few others, I managed to make my computer completely nonfunctional, which provided an interesting new learning experience, to put it mildly. Apparently the only way to reverse a Java update on a Mac is to do a fresh OS installation, and then apply all of the updates except for the most recent one. Fortunately the fix is relatively minor and just requires some time, and an OS install disk.
