FTPeek insists Java SE 6 is not installed under Mavericks. Filemaker won't launch.

October 23, 201312 yr

I have updated a test machine to Mavericks this morning to check for any compatibility problems.

One issue I have found is that Filemaker Pro and Filemaker Pro Advanced 12.0.5 will not launch under Mavericks if FTPeek is in the extensions folder.

Filemaker presents the dialog saying that a Java SE 6 runtime is needed. The machine in question already has Java 1.7_45 installed.

If I remove the FTPeek plugin from the Extensions folder, (a restart is required after this if you've already tried to launch Filemaker as Filemaker claims it has been modified otherwise), then Filemaker launches fine on Mavericks.

I have the latest version of FTPeek (1.641).

I've solved this. Just in case any others experience it, it seems that there is a Java update from Apple that became available overnight and that replaces the SE 6 runtime. You can just reinstall the SE 6 runtime again without issues and then Filemaker/FTPeek will run.
