Description
(mac) Fix failed for JDK-7175776 Can not save disabling "Check for Updates Automatically".

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install jre 7u6-b13 on Mac 10.7.4
2. Launch JCP, disable (uncheck) "Check for Updates Automatically". in tab "Update".
3. Click button "OK" to store and exit JCP.
4. Launch JCP again, if you see "Check for Updates Automatically". in tab "Update" is still checked, the issue is reproduced.

Still see this issue on Mac 10.9 with the latest 8 nightly bits #800.

No such issue on win7-x86.
Comments
Couldn't reproduce with 8 b116. Will try nightly. This setting is dependent on both system and user level settings, can you check which is set (or unset in this case)? To show native settings (run with "sudo" for system settings): defaults read com.oracle.javadeployment A matching property should be in ~/Library/Application\ Support/Oracle/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties for user, remove the ~ for System. The AU setting/property is "deployment.macosx.check.update"
