it does not change the default version of java from 1.5 to 1.6. anybody knows how to switch the default version to 1.6?

Sort of useless for day to day web surfing since Safari is 32bit and this java plugin is 64bit.

(This is more for developers at this time.)

thanks. but I meant, the systemwide java settings , so that when you type java -version at command prompt, it would give you java 6...

 

i do a lot of java development, would be great if you could switch the default version of JDK on the fly..

Why wouldn't it? Not like it replaced any system files. Whenever an update comes out I always get this image in my head of bunches of clueless noobs, beads of sweat on their foreheads, hands trembling as they click the update button. Then when that particular update doesn't frag their machine they rush in here to post "IT WORKS!!!!!" in some silly friggin' me too thread. If you want to know what's in the freakin' update open it up and check it before you install it. Pretty much every distro comes with a copy of Pacifist for a reason.

Really!

 

Thats stupid.. I thought it would be running in 64bit mode! This is my first AMD and i just have troubles with it (in windows too :D).

So until Apple will release java 6 for 32bit machines, i will not be able to run it on an AMD hackintosh ? :)
