Apple has released Java updates for Mac OS X, with separate downloads available for Leopard and Snow Leopard builds.

The release no longer supports out-of-process Java applets, while J2SE 1.4.2 will not receive further bug fixes or security patches.
Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 5 brings the same improvements for reliability, security and compatibility, bringing Java SE 6 up to version 1.6.0_26.
