Apple today released Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Release 3 which includes version 1.5.0_05 and improves functionality of J2SE 5.0 on Mac OS X v 10.4 Tiger 10.4.2 and later. This release does not replace the existing installation of J2SE 1.4.2.
Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Release 3 allows applications and applets developed for the J2SE 5.0 platform to run on Mac OS X v 10.4.2 and later. It is available via Software Update or as a standalone installer.
This update does not change the default version of Java on your Mac from Java 1.4.2 to J2SE 5.0, though Java applications that require J2SE 5.0 may specifically request it. You can change the preferred Java version for applications and applets by using the new Java Preferences utility. This utility is installed by the J2SE 5.0 update here: /Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE 5.0/
Installing J2SE 5.0 Release 3
1. Get the J2SE 5.0 Update here.
2. Double-click the “J2SE50Release3.dmg” disk image file that you downloaded, and it will mount to appear as a disk in the Finder.
3. Open the mounted disk, then double-click the Installer icon.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.

First Post. I am God.
Hi God
How may I be saved?
So is this the REAL Java? Last time I checked it was for developers developers developers.
OK. NOW I can upgrade to OS X Tiger.
Finally.
God. Why did you bury our oil in foreign lands?
It wasn’t foreign when I put it there, Pete.
Does this fix the problem of Safari crashes in some websites that seems to be javascript related??
LHAO@Pete
Mark, Java and Javascript are not the same thing. Javascript is a scripting language used in web pages and does not need to be compiled in order to be run. Java is a programming language with some similarities to C/C++, but much more platform independent. It can also be used to make applets which can be run in web browsers.
So, this update should have no affect on your crashes in Safari – sorry.
Did this “Golden T Game Engine (GTGE)” came with this download or was it already inside my computer and I never noticed? If it came bundled in this download I bet it has something to do with new games for the iPod…
What is with all the anti-Christs and blasphemers and mockers on this site?
Can’t they find some other place for the immature crap and leave this for Mac discussions?
As one of the original 12, I’m going to allow it, Scott.
j/k, seriously, j/k…
Don’t forget to turn it on
Paste this into Safari(it will open the correct folder)
file://users/Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE 5.0/
Open Java Preferences and select J2SE 5.0(press save)
What’s immature, scott?
it’s fun to mock god and all the phony god-people. fer instance: if pat robertson is a christian, than charlie manson is the pope.
And if george bush is a christian, than I, personally, am god’s stepbrother.
lighten up, scott. you need a sense of humor to keep believing in that blood-thirsty, morbid, martyr-worshipping, christian B.S.
If there is a true religion, christianity ain’t it.
MDN Magic word: “front” as in, christianity is a front for maintaining the status quo and keeping the wealthy in power.
THANK YOU R. I didn’t think it automatically used it, so thanks for posting that information on selecting it. Much appreciated.
Religion is a way to keep people in line. Nothing more, nothing less.
If you think Jesus was born from a Virgin and died but rose to heaven, you need to stop smoking crack.
I was raised as Roman Catholic, but once you do a bit of reading about Catholicism you can see it’s all bullsh*t. Ask a Priest an awkward question and he’ll reply with the usual “God works in mysterious ways” crap.
What religion is best? No Religion is best. Just treat others with respect and you won’t go far wrong.
HP iLO cards now have full functionality in Safari, even the Remote Control works correctly.
That should make my life a bit easier. Excellent.
After this install my java test time went from 10.67 sec down to 8.29 sec.

MW = went, as in what I just said.
For any dyslexics out there:
I am Dog
I love the pontfication about religion on this Mac-centric site. ITs great to knbow that some of the people who come here know what is the true religion and what is not. Quit pontificating, no religion has it “right”, and respect all religions and those who worship whatever diety they choose. those few of you who show up and spout bull out your pie-holes about who is what and Catholics this and that, piss off!
ANYBODY who claims they have god on their side scares me.
More on topic: Why would a java update have something to do with iPod games? If they truly are Java applets wouldn’t somebody have hacked that yet?
Would one of our religious scholars answer one simple question?
Why does God let little babies die horrible burning bloody deaths in wars or slow painful death from starvation or exposure?
Here end’th the lesson
“Why does God let little babies die horrible burning bloody deaths in wars or slow painful death from starvation or exposure?”
I guess they have not had time to donate to Gods church so they’re not protected by HIM yet.
