- Apple is no longer supplying Java for the Mac (and even in the past this presumes OSX.) I believe when they did support it, it had been upgraded to 1.6 though. They moved it in to public domain and so it probably lives somewhere else now. One might also find it under 'old' downloads or some such.
- OS X 10.8 removed Java 6 and the Java Utilities switcher and made Java 7 the default jre making it hard for engineers like me who work exclusively on Java 6. How do I get back my Java 6? Note: I tried Google but many of the supposed solutions are outdated.
