This broke some of my Java apps so I am finally gonna bin them stupid Java I hate Java so much...why can't people just use C based languages and Python/Ruby all the Java stuff is crap and owned by a crap company. It is like ActionScript just horrid mess. YMMV but I "personally" hate everything coded in it.
Me neither can't stand it tried it but could not get into the idea of cross platform apps they always had a significant loss over apps written for the platforms own language & framework/API's.
If I see Java on an OSX app I run away. If I see Java on a Win app I run away. If I see java on a Linux app I certainly run away.
There is always an alternative to Java...it never quite turned out to be the killer of all other languages did it....although it does okay on Android phones but Google will bin it when there own language mature 100% no way they want Larry on their backs forever.
Apple is washing their hands of Java and by the time we get to 10.8, the OpenJDK project should have taken over. Then you won't have to worry about timely updates anymore.
Well done Apple!!!!! i'm sitting in my car parked out side my employer's office downloading the java installer over WIFI because without it Photoshop won't launch!!!!!!!
I know you hate Flash but is this loathing spreading to all adobe products?
This is also downloaded automaticlaly on first run if you just open java prepferences in the utilities folder, it's basically install on demand software and will install itself once you try to use it. Stand alone is convinient for mass distribution though.

Java SE 7 development is underway, but, as usual way behind other platforms:

Although, there is a JDK7 for Mac OS X Developer Preview, here:
