HI Maik,
I have worked directly with JAMF support on this, they were unable to resolve the issue and ultimately closed the ticket without a solution, I do know that they were trying to solve it with scripting without success. I wish I had better news but for now it looks like there is no way to disable the auto update checkbox.
i would think that either removing
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.oracle.java.Java-Updater.plist
or
defaults write /Library/LaunchAgents/com.oracle.java.Java-Updater.plist Disabled -bool yes
would do the trick.
Just tried the script Jared mentioned, confirmed working...
(and can confirm that thte plist method does not work)
Thank you Jared,
This is an awesome find!
Thanks to all.
I can confirm that the script works like charm!!!
Thanks a mill.
plist ist not working
. But thanks.
Also, working great for me on v7
fyi~ I've updated the script on the linked thread to also suppress the update prompt when you open a Java app while using an older version of Java. Previously, the script was unchecking the "Check for Updates" option and removing the Launch Agent that checks for updates periodically. However, if you were still on an older version of the plugin, it would prompt to update when you opened a Java app. If you've been using the previous version of the script, I'd suggest grabbing this updated version and testing, then using that.
Let me know if/how it can be improved.
Script worked like a charm for my needs Andrew! Thanks!

For Java 8, i just did a fresh install of java and then ran composer to pull out the autoupdate file after turning auto updates off....
