YELLEKO I'm curious. My "Software Update" didn't pick this up as being required by my 10.4.11. But I downloaded it anyway. It won't load because it says I need the earlier release(s). So I downloaded them all the way back to release 6. I continue to get the same message: I need an earlier release. 1) Am I doing something wrong? 2) How does one tell about JAVA on one's computer? 3) Do I even need it? If someone can recommend some info on this, I should be appreciative. - Lee (Version Release 9)
ORDER2 TAKE CARE. After upgrading to Java release 8, the Javascript toggle function wouldn't work in Camino. (E.g. macupdate.com wasn't rendered correctly.) Couldn't revert to previous version, even an attempt to reinstall release 7 with Pacifist failed. Thankfully I had made a system backup the day before, running with release 7. Camino works again; what else had been or could have been broken by version 8 I don't know and frankly, I'm not keen to find out.

MORGAN KNICELY Installed J2SE 5 and used the prefs app to make Java apps launch using the new Java version. Azureus works, NeoOffice/J works. I don't detect a dramatic speed increase but I could be wrong. Bravo to Apple for delivering on Java2 v5 so quickly after the Tiger release! (Version 5.0)
ESPECTRO You don't see any changes because you are not using Java 2 Version 5 version 1.5 update 02 build 36
The install won't change your default java version, and the included app doesn't change it either, it just changes the version for the java plugin. If you want to use it you have to get dirty on the command line and backup the CurrentJDK symlink in /System/Frameworks/JavaVM.... to match the new version (Version 5.0)

YOXI It's not possible to change the java version NeoOffice uses - NeoOffice/J (v1.1) will only use v1.3.1, NeoOffice (v1.2) will only use v1.4.2 (and is thus only compatible with OSX 10.3 upwards). If you change the default java in your OS to 1.5, NeoOffice will not work, but as the other poster said, it's a more under the bonnet job to change the system's default java version. (Version 5.0r4)
