The JDK does include the AppleScriptEngine but is missing the

I think the issue here is right now a lot of customers still have at
least some fragments of Apple's Java 6 installed which makes this work.
As more machines come to exist which have only ever had Java 7 or
greater on them we'd see this issue more often, unless it is fixed.
Right now I think this masking makes it impossible to estimate how
widely used this engine is.
This is a terrible slip up, I assume you do java builds on clean
machine so I assume you don't have a single until test for checking
talking to Applescript engine.
I dread to think how many potential customers have tried my
application and given up when it fails to update iTunes ( a key part
on of the appilication for many OSX users), and Ive been unaware

I wanted to replicate the issue before fixing so I renamed
/System/Library/Java/Extensions/AppleScriptEngine.jar and
libAppleScriptEngine.jniLib but it stills works.
I searched the whole hard disk and couldn't find any other copies
What do I need to do to make it fail ?
