The Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Release 1 software update provides support for cross-platform J2SE 5.0 applications and J2SE 5.0-based applets in Safari on Mac OS X 10.4 'Tiger.' I was asked to figure out how to reinstall Java on a Mac without reinstalling the OS. Apparantly the user was complaining that Java would not work in Safari and, while trying to fix the problem, the Help Desk deleted enough required files that Java was completely trashed.

Software Update: Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 5, Mac OS X 10.5 Update 10
Java for Mac OS X 10.6 has just been updated to Update 5, and a visit to Software Update will bring the latest and greatest version of Java to your Mac. If you're still using Leopard, Java for Mac OS X 10.5 is now at Update 10. According to the release notes, 'Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 5 delivers improved reliability, security, and compatibility for Java SE 6. Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 5 supersedes all previous versions of Java for Mac OS X 10.6.' The Snow Leopard release is only for Mac OS X 10.6.6 and later. The Leopard updater is available for Mac OS X 10.5.8 and Mac OS X Server 10.5.8. The security notes for the updates state that the new version fixes 'multiple vulnerabilities in Java 1.6.0_24, the most serious of which may allow an untrusted Java applet to execute arbitrary code outside the Java sandbox.' The updaters bump Java to version 1.6.0_26.
