Apple updated today
Java for Mac OS X 10.5.2 (Upda
te 1). What it does is it adds
Java SE 6 Version 1.6.0_05, bla
h blah blah blah. Please note it just adds the new version and doesn't change o
r replace the version you're currently using (which should be
Java SE V
ersion 5). It's for
64-bit Intel Macs only, so it won
't show up in
Software Update if you don't need the thing.
It's available as a standalone 57mb download too (get it
here), but eager-beaver-updat
ers (EBU) might make the mistake of installing it on non-qualified
Macs
like
Power PCs and
32-bit Intels. I
n fact, the formal Apple blah-blah says:
This release is only for Mac OS X v10.5.2
and later, and should not be installed on earlier versions of Mac OS X. This r
elease is for 64-bit Intel-based Macs only and cannot run on PowerPC-based or 3
2-bit Intel-based Macs."
Like I said. So please don't get carried away now.
I'm not sure how I could contact the writer but I would like to ask if he could
write about Easter Eggs on Mac OSes. I actually stumbled on one, I think so I
would like to know if its really an Easter Egg or just a presentation on how to
use your Mac. I still think its an Easter Egg. :D I'm using OSX 10.5.2 (If I r
emember right.)
