Arguably this will be a good thing, as the Apple JDK usually lags 6 months plus behind the official Sun/Oracle one. It isn’t installed by default, but after the fact just like on every other platform other than Solaris. What has happened is Apple has quit mangling their own JDK into the OS and delegating responsibility to Oracle to supply a JDK for OSX going forward. For JDK 7 it will be available from Oracle, maybe even through the App Store if we are lucky! What it means for right now, is nothing has changed, except that the JDK 6 and on is now a separate download via Software Update. Does that mean that I cannot develop Java on a Mac? Or that I just have to go get all the Java downloads myself? But I heard that OSX Lion does not support Java. Im a new Java developer and was thinking about getting a Mac.
