No day in the Apple world we live in would be complete without a minor, usually uninteresting software update. Today is no exception.
If you have a 64-bit Intel Mac running Leopard, waiting for your little greedy mouse clicks is Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 1. Says Apple, “[it] adds Java SE 6 version 1.6.0_05 to your Mac. This update does not replace the existing installation of J2SE 5.0 or change the default version of Java.” For all the gory details, visit this page.
As usual, you’re invited to tell us if this impacts the way your Mac behaves. We hope it does in a good way!
If someone would like to make Java SE 6 your default version of Java, please use /Applications/Utilities/Java/Java Preferences.app to do so.
My Eclipse is feeling faster. :)
On my MacBook it says that Java SE 6 is only for applets i a webbbrowser with capability for 64bits. If you use Safari, that only has support for 32bits, you will still use Java SE 5.
I think this is a little bit strange, does anyone else have the same thing??
I use MacBook (late 2007 - C2D) and OS X 10.5.
