My Macbook Pro came with Lion and then I upgraded. Maybe that explains it. I also downloaded Adobe in the past I think, and it still didn't seem to work so I ditched it. I could never find it. I redownloaded it recently. Anyway, now I know why it was on my external drive. On my external drive I have Time Machine, my hard drive, Lion and Mt. Lion!!

So if you have a version of the Java Preferences app on your computer, it's an older version, intended for an older version of Java. I have seen scattered reports that you can run it on modern OS X systems and change the settings, but it doesn't actually do anything.

By way of clarification, that apparently applies only to Lion (maybe) and Mounty.

Java for Snowy, v 1.6.0_51-b11-456, still uses /Apps/Utils/Java Preferences.
