I don't remember ever previously using MinimWatch as a tool for applying updates. However, I had a poke around and found that the mini menu associated with the MinimWatch icon had a Properties item that took me to a list of uninstalled updates. I duly applied these updates, followed by stopping and restarting MinimWatch.

My Java exception has now gone away but the MinimWatch icon is stuck on grey...

For future reference, the best way to install updates is to select About from the minim icon and then click Show updates from the About dialog. If any updates are available, this takes you through a series of automated prompts to install all available updates.

I presume you normally install updates by responding to the pop-up prompt that appears in MinimWatch when a new MinimServer update is available. This prompt isn't shown if the latest update has previously been installed but isn't installed now, because this would normally mean you have removed the update intentionally.
