I have a new software update (10.8.2) I don't get this part of it. I don't want to download it unless it's a good idea.
Java for OSX 2012-006 1.0
Java for OSX 2012-006 delivers improved security, and compatibility by updating Java SE 6 to 1.6.37.
This release updates the Apple-provided system Java SE 6 to version 1.6.0_37 and is for OS X versions 10.7 or later.
This update uninstalls the Apple-provided Java applet plug-in from all web browsers. To use applets on a web page, click on the region labeled "Missing plug-in" to go download the latest version of the Java applet plug-in from Oracle.
This update also removes the Java Preferences application, which is no longer required to configure applet settings.
I don't understand about the uninstalling of java applet plug-in. Why would I want to do that?
Thanks.
Rita
