Unfortunately we still have a few apps that require Java. I was hoping we could get away with just one version of Java, preferably Java 7 when deploying our image this summer.
Then we remembered 32bit Chrome won't run Java 7.
Now I'm realizing it appears Apple doesn't release full installers for Java 6, only updates existing installs (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572).
On freshly imaged 10.8 machines that we would like to use Chrome on, am I missing something beyond downloading an old Java 6 installer posted elsewhere on the web and then using the support article above to update it?
What a tangled web java weaves...
