All EBS desktop administrators must disable JRE Auto-Update for their end-users immediately. See this externally-published article:

Why is this required?
If you have Auto-Update enabled, your JRE 1.6 version will be updated to JRE 7.
This may happen as early as July 3, 2012.
This will definitely happen after Sept. 7, 2012, after the release of 1.6.0_35 (6u35).
Oracle Forms is not compatible with JRE 7 yet. JRE 7 has not been certified with Oracle E-Business Suite yet. Oracle E-Business Suite functionality based on Forms -- e.g. Financials -- will stop working if you upgrade to JRE 7.
