Getting MPLAB X working with OS X Maverick

I just updated to Maverick and noticed that MPLAB did not work.  I had observed others update and have the similar issues.  Before the update I had downloaded and installed the latest version of MPLAB X from the  Microchip website.  After the update, MPLAB wouldn't even start because I needed Java.  I downloaded the latest version of Java and still nothing, but I recalled in the microchip forums the following post (http://www.microchip.com/forums/m774977.aspx).  The post points you to apple support (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572) where you can download an older version of Java that works with MPLAB X.  I downloaded and installed this version of Java and now MPLAB X would start up but it couldn't see any of my programmers (ICD 3 or PICkit3).  So I uninstalled MPLAB X and then reinstalled it and magically my programmers reappeared.
