Apple Adds Java SE 6 to Leopard
This Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 1 adds Java SE 6 version 1.6.0_05 to your Mac. This update does not replace the existing installation of J2SE 5.0 or change the default version of Java.
The update requires Mac OS X 10.5.2 or later, and a 64-bit Intel-based Mac. Apple had previously seeded a developer's preview of Java SE 6 for Leopard to ADC developers.
The lack of Java 6 support when Leopard was released had received much criticism.

EDIT: Ah, just seen that it's Intel only, maybe not so good.

I've just installed this on my MacBook. So it doesn't need a 64-bit Intel-based Mac. Just an Intel-based Mac. :confused:
Sounds like a decent update but how come there's no 32-bit version for early Intel Mac Mini machines, or any update for PowerPC at all, even if the system is running Leopard? Seems kind of odd that they'd just "forget about" all of those loyal users. Maybe an update for those machines is forthcoming.

All Core 2s (and the Xeons Apple has used so far) are 64 bit, only older Core Duo/Solo Macs aren't 64 bit Intel.

And 64 bit only :rolleyes:. This is lame Apple.
Stupid question, but how does this benefit the end user?
Just curious :)
They can run applications designed for Java SE 6, which I imagine adds new features for developers.

Yes what about the loyal PPC people! Maybe tomorrow?
