seems some other problem now, date is always blank on applications page. Ok - the above problem is (when launching jcp from javacpl.exe) we set (since JDK-8034819) the system property: -Djava.locale.providers=HOST,JRE,SPI We do not do this when launching javaws -viewer, or other cases of running java web start or plugin. As a result, the DateFormat used in writing the lastAccessed property into the lap (written from Java Web Start) differs from the DateFormat used to read it out (from JCP since 8u20). The fix is just to make the date format constant, using SimpleDateFormat, instead of DateFormat.getDateFormateInstance() There is still a problem caused by JDK-8034819, that the date as displayed in the cache viewer, or the Update Tab, is not the same format when JCP is invoked from webstart as opposed when it is invoked from javacpl.exe, but this will go awat with the new JCP re-alignment in JDK9.

fix looks trivial now - all lap is written from Cache.putLapData(), it seems all we need to do is call Cache.recordLastAccessed()

but currently lap files are written to in many places, not centralized , we need to add write method to Lap interface, and change all calls that write out the lap file to call that. Then we can call Cache.setLastAccessed() from there.

EVALUATION the startWatchers method in CacheViewer.java only refreshes the page when the cached content is changed, not also when the local application properties have changed. to fix, Cahce.setLastAccessed needs to be called when the LAP file is written.
