Still happens with Yosemite release version

I am not surprised that's crashing, that mechanism doesn't work properly on 10.9. There's an issue filed to fix it already, but it hasn't been addressed yet: JDK-8029309

I reported this crash running on 10.10 Preview 3. Today I took the time to update to the latest: 10.10 Preview 6 (Yes, I had to download and install Preview 4, 5, and 6 in order). The crash still happens, it is easily reproducible: Open the Java Control Panel->Update Tab->check/uncheck the auto update checkbox->apply or okay get prompted by the password, enter the password and hit okay. Crash. Same place, Java_com_sun_deploy_config_MacOSXPlatform_setAutoUpdateCheckEnabled crashes calling DoAuthorizedAction().

P4 for a crash does not seem appropriate for me. That said, I can update my Yosemite on the weekend and try again.

See the stack, 0 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x00007fff906a632a __pthread_kill + 10 1 libsystem_c.dylib 0x00007fff9398162b abort + 129 2 libjvm.dylib 0x000000011005cd8f os::abort(bool) + 25 3 libjvm.dylib 0x0000000110178e02 VMError::report_and_die() + 2268 4 libjvm.dylib 0x000000011005e902 JVM_handle_bsd_signal + 1131 5 libjvm.dylib 0x000000011005adc7 signalHandler(int, __siginfo*, void*) + 47 6 libsystem_platform.dylib 0x00007fff938f5f1a _sigtramp + 26 7 libobjc.A.dylib 0x00007fff8d8440e9 objc_msgSend + 41 8 libdeploy.dylib 0x000000013216f7ec DoAuthorizedAction + 1212 9 libdeploy.dylib 0x000000013216f90e Java_com_sun_deploy_config_MacOSXPlatform_setAutoUpdateCheckEnabled + 158 Dying in DoAuthorizedAction, which makes sense, as the crash happened the second after I was prompted by username/password to confirm the changed I did (I disabled the auto-update).
