Suddenly FileMaker Adv 11, 12 and 13 all will not launch

[ignotum]

Mac OSX 10.9.5.

Today i was messing around trying to get connected to a client's Server via the admin console - in banging around with that I updated Java. At some point I went back to do something else with my local copy of FMPA 12 and it wouldn't launch the app... when I click on it in the dock or the app folder itself the splash screen appears for a bit then goes away.... just like I had quit the app.

I restarted the computer, did a single PRAM zap, reinstalled FMPA12, uninstalled Java... all to no avail.

All worked fine earlier today.

Java could be a red herring in all of this.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Mark

What version of Java have you installed?

Currently none.

And now 8 Update 25... neither way works

UPDATE:

Went back to Java 6 and all is well....
