install ec2-api-tools with brew on fresh lion (note to myself)

gistfile1.txt

brew install ec2-api-tools

does not do the job to make it run on my fresh Lion. 

Because Apple does not have the full Java on Lion we need to upgrade from:

http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421

Download an install. 

Reason:
Java on Lion was broken. /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ was missing! Upgrade Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_29 fixed it.


After that it should work. But the firewall asks for permission when using the ec2-tools (i.e. ec2-describe-instances).
To fix that do:

--
sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --add /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_26-b03-383.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java

2011-12-08 20:47:00.984 socketfilterfw[32231:707] CFURLCreateWithBytes was passed these invalid URLBytes: '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_26-b03-383.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java
ALF: Error, IsExpectedCFType(variableInQuestion) variable == NULL!
Application at path ( /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_26-b03-383.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java ) added to firewall 


# and I guess more important:
sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --add /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java
