Error - A higher version of the JRE is already installed #29

I'm getting the following error after upgrading to v1.2.0:

  Error: Execution of '/usr/sbin/installer -pkg /private/tmp/dmg.WDl9DF/Java 7 Update 21.pkg -target /' returned 1: installer: Error - A higher version of the JRE is already installed on this system

I probably did upgrade Java outside of boxen at some point, but v1.1.0 never complained about it.

Actually, fixed for myself, running:

sudo rm -rf '/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin'

After clearing that, then re-boxening all was well in the world.

The Java auto-update is a pain; There's not much we can do about it, unless we want to dig into the pkgdmg provider to manage versions.

The best way to handle this is for this module to do a better job of keeping on top of Oracle's JRE/JDK releases.
