The same tricks as before work to re-enable the web plug-in.

If you have something that requires the Java 6 web plugin then you would want 2013-001. Otherwise, Java 7u15 is fine. I install both because CrashPlan still requires Java 6 and our SSL VPN works fine w/ 7.

can I install both w/o issue? Should I just skip the J7 updates from orcale and remain patient with apple ones? I thought I had read somewhere that apple wasn't going to release anymore java updates so I started using oracles... but now Apple's is in the Software Updates...I suppose i could turn it off at the SUS level..

Guessing these will be the last java updates from Apple. Oracle's java 6 support ends this month so there most likely won't be any further updates past update 41. Java 7 will continue to be available only from Oracle.
