Java kills VMWare Fusion

By Jean-Francois Panisset - I do most of my work from a Mac laptop, with Windows 7 inside VMWare Fusion for Windows-centric stuff. And since Java stuff (typically switch and storage configuration GUIs) never seems to work on the Mac side, I've been typically doing that from the Windows side (run anywhere, right?). But for the last little while, trying to bring up a Java 7 app causes the Windows 7 guest to crash, which is very annoying. According to: http://communities.vmware.com/message/2167635 the solution is either to go back to Java 5 (ugh) or to disable 3D acceleration (not great either, but then again I don't do anything graphics intensive in my VM). I was able to verify that disabling 3D acceleration works for me (MBP 15" Retina). Anyway, just figured that there are probably others on this list who need to run Java-based apps inside of VMWare Fusion so I thought I would share...
