Apple has released an update for its officially supported Java for OS X, which, in addition to addressing security and compatibility errors, has added steps to move the latest version of Java users from Apple-supported versions to Oracle. This update upgrades the Java version of Apple to 1.6.0_65, which targets OS X 10.7 and later. As with most Java updates, it solves some of the long-running (runtime) vulnerabilities. For anyone who uses Java, we recommend them for updates.
Historical Picture: Oracle's first JDK and JavaFX SDK to support Mac OS X was released in 2012.
In addition to bug fixes, Apple has also leveraged this update to encourage users to move to Oracle's Java runtime, especially web-based Java services. According to the Apple documentation, installing this update removes the Apple-supplied Java plugin (the Java plugin provided by Apple).
The Web page then displays "Missing a plugin" when it tries a Jave applet, jumps to Oracle's Java Web page and downloads the latest version of Java 7-not just the Java runtime, but also the latest bugs and bug fixes
