Disable Java Auto Update Prompt for 1.7u25 on Mountain Lion I'm having a heck of a time trying to disable the option 
"Check for updates Automatically"

I ran composer to see what plist was being modified and it looks like
~/Library/Preferences/com.oracle.javadeployment.plist

&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
&lt;!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"    "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"&gt;
&lt;plist version="1.0"&gt;
&lt;dict&gt;
    &lt;key&gt;/com/oracle/javadeployment/&lt;/key&gt;
    &lt;dict&gt;
        &lt;key&gt;deployment.macosx.check.update&lt;/key&gt;
        &lt;string&gt;false&lt;/string&gt;
&lt;/dict&gt;
&lt;/dict&gt;
&lt;/plist&gt;


So I experimented with changing that value to true or false and it would not effect the checkbox under the Java Control Panel > Update > Check for Updates Automatically

Your assistance would be much appreciated.

Initially I was looking @ /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
Open a Terminal and execute:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.oracle.java.Java-Updater JavaAutoUpdateEnabled -bool false
