Got the Plugin, not the VM
I agree this update correctly updates the Internet Plugin, used in Safari, for example, when you load a page with a java applet.
UPDATED:
I think I see that the VM is actually inside the Contents folder of the Plugin.
So, my question is how to make the desktop applications aware of this, so that they launch in the java 7 VM, and not the old java 6 VM.
Seems like there is an environment variable, framework, or something that needs to be updated.
And, for sure, /user/libexec/java_home still points to the java 6 jdk.
But, still the /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions directory still only has up to java 6. No install there of java 7, as I would have expected.
OK, that's about the extent of my java knowledge - if even this much has been accurate! Hope a java geek can help...
