    It’s lucky that this doesn’t change the default version of Java. It’s worth knowing that this is 64-bit only, which means that apps that depend on Carbon bindings in Java (using a library called SWT) will crash when you try to run them in Java 6 at the moment. So, if you install this update and then switch your default version of Java and apps start to fail or just not start, it is worth falling back to Java 5.
