Java Lion Update Cant Be

Network folks need to use Java cuz some web-based GUIs actually runs Java applet.

Disabling java or leaving it uninstalled remains a decent security tip to protect a Mac against some of the rare trojans and viruses floating around out there.

Slightly off topic, but found this thread when searching for answers to reinstalling with ML for use with Adobe software.

Why does Apple again think (very differently) they shall decide which software I need to use; why do they again believe they know better about MY security and MY private affairs.

How can a bank ever use Java (or Flash or any other plug-in) A bank should be all about security, so they should use any plug-ins.

If my bank (or any other company) would force me to use any plug-ins Id immediately switch to another bank (or insurance company or whatever company).

I dont need them and I dont want them on my systems.

Ive never used Java, but having it installed is a big security risk, so Im glad its finally gone.

More and more websites use HTML5 and I can easily live without those websites that require Flash.

Not only is it a bad idea because of the security risks, but also because of compatibility.

A website should work on every device, no matter what operating system or browser is being used.

None of them are available for iOS (luckily), I think Android only has Flash, Linux has a crappy implementation of Silverlight (Moonlight) which is absolutely useless.

Its absolutely ridiculous to use Java, Flash, Silverlight or any other plug-ins.

How about people running iOS, Android, Linux, BSD, a Chromebook or whatever.

Even if I made my own operating system and browser I should still be able to use every website.

Kudos.

Apple knows it will take HTML5 years to catch up with Flash because they themselves, amongst others though, are in charge of the W3C.

Thats why you have to learn ios, which is a very hard to master and rapidly changing language.

Java Lion Update Cant Be

Either way I receive a message saying This update cant be installed.

The update could not be expanded, and may have been corrupted during downloading.

The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.

Apparently nobody knows why just yet 1.7 happily ran MC under Lion.

Im fairly convinced it is the fault of minecraft, unsigned jar files, etc.

Do you have any thoughts or recommendations for good resources on this topic.

Double clicking on the X11 app will point you at an Apple knowledgebase article which will in turn point you to the XQuartz website to download X11 for the Mac.
