The malware infected over half a million un-patched Macs at its pinnacle, though Apple quickly released patches and a removal tool after news of Flashback became public.
Oracle is also releasing an OS X version of its new JavaFX Scene Builder, which allows developers to build user interfaces using drag-and-drop components (similar to Xcode or Visual Studio).Īpple's continuing inability to stay on top of updating Java resulted in the most widely exploited vulnerability in OS X to date: a quick-spreading trojan known as Flashback.
#APPLE JAVA SE 6 INSTALL#
That includes the JRE, which end users install to run Java-based applications the JDK, which developers use to develop Java applications and the JavaFX "rich client platform," used to develop GUI desktop applications. The latest release of Java SE 7 now makes OS X a fully supported platform.
#APPLE JAVA SE 6 UPDATE#
The update also fully integrates the JavaFX 2.2 libraries, designed to make the development and deployment of desktop applications easier and faster, and adds OS X support for a new JavaFX user interface development tool. Users can download the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) directly from Oracle's website "soon," according to Oracle, and will receive auto-updates at the same time as Windows, Linux, and Solaris platforms. Oracle announced on Tuesday that it will start offering direct downloads and auto-updates to Java on OS X beginning with the release of Java Standard Edition 7 Update 6.
