...? So update to 10.6.8.
Java 7 will be provided by Oracle, not Apple. Oracle still hasn't finished the version for Mac, although you can download a developer preview (http://jdk7.java.net/macportpreview/).
From --> http://java.com/en/download/faq/java7.xml
If Software Update doesn't have an update, it is probably because you don't have Java installed at all.

Do you have a specific need to use 10.6.4?
10.6.8 is free and has been out for ages.
I have video playback problems under 10.6.8. And I can't have Genius Bar people hold my computer for a few days while they look at it (I was quoted 4 days).
Since May of this year, I've been working on my theses for graduation and interning at 2 doctors offices. I need the mobility of my laptop (with video playback) for everything that I'm doing.
I'm going to bring it back to a Genius during my winter break.
