[moneydance] Apple Mac Java Update 4 and Find and Replace Plugin

[Alan Nies]

Well, I couldn't get it to work with the terminal for some reason so I  
did the same thing through the finder and now it works with the find  
and replace.  I did this by going to the:
applications/moneydance/Contents/MacOS    where I renamed the  
JavaApplicationStub to JavaApplicationStub.bak
I then went to the   Macintosh HD/System/Library/Frameworks/ 
JavaVM.Framework/Versons/Current/Resources/MacOS    where I copied the  
JavaApplicationStub to the folder where I had created the backup  
above.  This JavaApplicationStub had a created date of 5/25/09.
Voila

Why it wouldn't work doing the same thing in the terminal I cannot  
figure out unless I had a typo or something.  Maybe this will help  
someone who is a klutz like me.
