So I'm trying to install our AV software, but it requires Java.
So I downloaded the 10.7 Java installer from Apple added it to my
imaging workflow as well as the AV installer mpkg. After the system
images and boots to the os, the AV software is not loaded on the system.
When I checked the logs, it says Java was installed successfully, and
later on it shows the AV not being installed because java wasn't
detected.
At that point I found a website that checks the installed Java version
and it shows I do have it installed and running.
So my thought process is that Java requires a reboot prior to installing
AV, but I still want it as part of the imaging workflow. Is there a way
to make the mpkg be part of the first run process? The next problem is
that there is 2 different packages for the AV, some systems will get pkg
A and others will get pkg B depending on geographic location.
I was thinking if I did a policy to install pkg A and pkg B, then use a
first run script to trigger the respective policy that would be fine,
but it could turn out to be a nightmare for managing.
Does anybody have another suggestion on how I can do this?
Oh, compiling an image that includes java I thought of - but since 8.31
I have been unable to compile a new image... and it also makes it less
modular...
