Cisco - PDM broken after Java update

[guest]

This is a known issue. Go back to 1.5.0_01 and PDM will work fine.

PIX Device Manager (PDM) versions 3.0(1) , 3.0(2), 4.0(1), and 4.1(1), and IDS Device Manager (IDM) version 5.0(1), are
incompatible with Java Plug-in versions 1.4.2_08 and 1.5.0_02 or later. If these Java Plug-ins are used in conjunction
with the impacted PDM or IDM releases, the application will not load.
