Apple Update Brings Java SE 6 Support to Leopard
Yesterday, in an unannounced software update, Apple added Java 6 support to Leopard via virtual machine.
The update which adds support for the Java 6 Standard Edition (SE) comes with Java SE 6 version 1.6.0_05. Of interesting note, the update will leave Java 5 alone, and won't actually change the default version of Java to Java 6, but Leopard owners should be able to run Java 6 apps.
The only downside to this update is that Java SE 6 can only be installed on 64-bit Intel Macs, so Core Duo or PowerPC processor machines are out of luck.
One last thing, you'll also need to be running the latest version of Leopard, 10.5.2, in order to install the new(ish) Java hotness. The update is 57MB in size, and is available via the software update feature.
