Apple have enabled and disabled Java several times very recently, reacting to security issues as they are discovered in Java. When the security issue is patched, Apple lift the block. Then another is uncovered, Apple block Java again, and so on. It all happens in the background.

All I can say is make sure you have the latest updates of the OS and Java.

While this can be a real pain and is causing many problems, I have seen it this last weekend as the boys wanted to play some games, not only with 10.8.2 but also on earlier Macs; at least Apple are being proactive in disabling software which has security issues.

One possibility that may not be perfect but would probably solve the issue would be to clear the second drive in your server and install a new clean OS, then install Cs6 and then migrate all your other stuff from the first drive to the second (sort of 'leapfrogging'). I am assuming you are using an i7 Mac mini with two 500Gb drives. That would clear any doubt about there being any hidden 'stuff' messing with your installation.

Alt, depending on what you have on the server, wipe and zero the drive and have a fresh start, there could be something lurking which is messing with your installation.
