        FULL PRODUCT VERSION :


        ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
        Mac OS X

        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        The PackageVersion of the Java 7 Update 45.pkg is set to "1.0".
        It should reflect the version it's installing, i.e. 1.7.45.18.

        Automated deployment and updating software is using this figure to determine if software should be updated. It'd be great not to write exceptions for Java.

        STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
        $ plutil -p /var/db/receipts/com.oracle.jre.plist |grep PackageVersion

        EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
        EXPECTED -
          "PackageVersion" => "1.7.45.18"
        ACTUAL -
          "PackageVersion" => "1.0"

        REPRODUCIBILITY :
        This bug can be reproduced always.

        CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
        Remove the /var/db/receipts/com.oracle.jre.plist file to trick installers to install anyway since it will think that no Java is installed.
