Java error after update

[Jim Byrnes]

Ubuntu 12.04
Java version 1.7.0_51-b13
Java plugin version 10.51.2.13

After receiving updates today from the webupd8team PPA that updated java 
as detailed above I get errors when trying use a steaming stock quote 
service from my broker.

The error reads: Missing required permission manifest attribute in main 
jar.

It then lists a url for a jar file on the brokers web site.

Has anyone else seen any problems with Java after a recent update?

I'm trying to get what info I can up front before calling the broker 
because sometimes you can almost hear them groan when you tell them you 
are using Linux and FF instead of Windows and IE.
