How do I access Juniper Networks Secure Access web VPN from OS X Lion?

Question

I upgraded to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. When I go to access a Juniper Networks Secure Access page which uses the Java Secure Application Manager (JSAM) to login to my works VPN I get an error saying that Java for Cocoa is not available. The error is:

"This browser does not use the Cocoa java Plug-In. 1) Make sure that JVM 1.4.1 or later is installed 2) Check that this browser supports Java for Cocoa (such as Safari)"

The answer is that it is possible to get it working, you have to reinstall java and safari from snow leopard. Instructions below, taken from this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15760121#15760121

Better explaination:

1) Download and install Pacifist from: http://www.charlessoft.com/Pacifist.dmg
2) Download and Mount JavaForMacOSX10.6Update5 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1360
3) Download and Mount JavaForMacOSX10.7 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421
4) Launch Pacifist and select Open Package
5) Select the mounted JavaForMacOSX10.6Update5.pkg
6) Hit install, when it prompts always select "Replace"
7) After it is complete, select Open Package and select the JavaForMacOSX10.7.pkg
8) When it prompts select "Replace"
9) You can copy Safari 5.0.5 from SL or if you do not have access to a SL machine
10) Download and mount Safari 5.0.5 from http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Safari5/041-0564.20110413.Fi9pb/Safari5.0.5SnowLeopard.dmg
11) In Pacifist select Open Package and select the Safari 5.0.5 pkg file
12) This time select Extract and place it onto your desktop
13) Go to the Safari5.0.5SnowLeopard folder on your desktop, inside of that you will see an Applications folder, open that and you will see Safari, you can rename this Safari, I named mine Safari 5.0.5 and copy it to your main Applications folder or whereever you want.
14) Launch this Safari and go to About and make sure it says 5.0.5
15) Try your Secure App Manager.
