Apple added support for Java SE 6 to Mac OS X 10.5 via a software update Tuesday.
The 57MB Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 1 release is intended for users running
OS X 10.5.2 or later on 64-bit Intel-based Macs. Release
notes from Apple say that the update can't run on PowerPC-based or 32-bit
Intel-based Macs.
Java SE 6 was first released in 2006, and added a number of useful features
for programmers who code in Java. However, when Leopard shipped last fall, it
came out without Java SE 6 support, forcing programmers to either code for older
Java releases on all platforms, or build a non-Java SE 6 version of their code
just for the Mac. Apple had posted a developer
preview of Java SE 6 for Leopard in December.
