Interesting that so many people bash Apple's effort here without actually reading the description. This is for Lion user WITHOUT java installed. If you have java installed, which all prior version of OS X shipped that way, the patch to handle this has already been handled in the java updates. Read before speaking people.

OSX-FTW!

I think Apple has handled this issue in a responsible and timely manner. I think they deserve some credit for that.

Shameful it's only for 10.7 (that's why only one star). Apple may have no legal obligation to put up this tool, but it wouldn't hurt it's bottom line to do so for those user whose hardware doesn't allow them to instal 10.7.
