Apple has released Java for OS X 2013-004 for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and 10.7 Lion and Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 16. Both update Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_51, but they have different effects on the built-in Java browser plug-in. The update for Snow Leopard enables per-site control of the plug-in, while the update for Lion and Mountain Lion removes Apple’s Java plug-in entirely, directing you to download Oracle’s plug-in if you need it. Apple’s security page notes that these updates address several critical vulnerabilities that could cause arbitrary code execution outside of the Javasandbox, as well as 33 other vulnerabilities. The updates are available via the App Store app or Software Update and direct download, and Apple reminds you to quit any Web browsers and Java applications before installing either one.

- I am unable to find a Java SDK download that is installable under Mac OSX 10.6. The new Java SDK 7 is specifically for Mac OSX Lion, and there does not seem to be a Java SDK 6 mac installer available for download (I'm guessing this is OSX 10.6 compatible).
- Yesterday, the company released 'Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 3,' which brought Apple's bundled support for Java SE 6 in Snow Leopard up to version 1.6.022, and 'Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 8.
