I finally got it done. I did "disk repair", didn't work. I did "reinstall Lion", didn't work. I did what this article telling me. It didn;t work. I removed everything I could find that seemed to be "Java", it didn't work. I used "pkgutil --forget" on Java packages, it didn't work. And possibly a couple of other things I have forgotten. Then I did a "reinstall Lion" again, as I ran out of ideas, and that worked.
So something "first" and then a reinstall of Lion... What a day!!! My most disappointing day of owning a Mac ever...
