Apple has released Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Release 4 delivers numerous enhancements for the Apple implementation of J2SE 5.0 on Mac OS X v10.4.
J2SE 5.0 Release 4 improves reliability and addresses issues found in earlier releases of J2SE 5.0 for Mac OS X. After installing J2SE 5.0 Release 4, J2SE 5.0 becomes preferred over Java 1.4.2, which will still be installed on your Mac. Applications run with J2SE 5.0 unless they specifically request Java 1.4.2.
This release provides compatibility with Sun's Java 2 Platform Standard Edition, version 5.0 (1.5.0_06).
J2SE 5.0 Release 4 is available via Software Update.

Thanks for the "ping"! I passed the link on to my sister, who now has a brand new iMac. She is trying it out after 30 some odd years of using PCs, and so far seems pretty happy!
I downloaded this last night, and there are several online things that it affected. My daughter and her friends all have Xanga sites. When she went to upload a photograph, the new version kept giving me error messages. I had had no problems before the update.
I had a heck of a time installing it, but it's in. More testing when I get home.
Java blows.
Tested and regressed just fine.
