We must be referring to different programs.
The "iCal Helper.app" I'm referring to is an embedded LSBackgroundOnly
application within iCal.app, located in its Contents/Resources/ sub-dir.
It's basically a daemon that acts on iCal's behalf, when iCal itself isn't
running. (Technically, I think it's a Startup Item or Login Item, not a
true daemon.)
I went into iCal.app's bundle, then into iCal Helper.app's bundle, and
checked its executable using:
otool -L iCal*
to list the dylibs and frameworks it references. JavaVM.framework isn't in
the list. Also, there's no Java-related keys in its Info.plist, no jars
anywhere in its Resources sub-dir, and for all I can tell it's not a Java
app. The OS version I checked it on is 10.4.7, ppc or i386.
When I google for keywords ical helper, it finds something now called
iCalAid that has this summary:
Makes Entourage-to-iCal transfer easier.
When I download and look into its app-bundle, it appears to be a scripting
app, not a Java app, i.e. it's written in AppleScript. Its executable has
no reference to JavaVM.framework, its Contents has no Resources/Java
sub-dir and no jars, and there are no Java-related keys in its Info.plist.
So the two iCal Helper.apps I can find aren't Java, as far as I can tell.
If you have one that is, you'll have to describe where you got it.
