thanks for the info.   is there any official cisco documents, that have EOL  for WS-C6509-V-E,    I also wanted confirmation. 

Thanks for the guide I had the same issue, I must have tried at least 5 different older versions of Java7 .x, none worked. Just to add a caveat I experienced issues with Windows XP as well, had to use a Win 7 PC.     Regards.
