HT1338 I just purchased a MacBookPro and wonder if it "updates" like Windows platform will offer? Class suggested to download java 6 Oracle...just asking...

I am new to this MacBook Pro laptop. I seems to have problems figuring things out....like Mail...where to put files like in Windows (or in AOL -was on there for a long time and now use .me).
I also wonder about the updates...the school I am looking at mentioned downloading Java 6 Oracle...how do I find out if I already have it? I tried to download it, and I got a little box that just highlighted 'software updates' from Finder...? and I am in general pretty clueless as to what all this machine does.
Help!!!
Thanks....Mona

From your "Go" menu choose "Go to folder" copy & paste this...
/Applications/Utilities
Press return
In that folder find the Java Preferences.app and launch it. You should be prompted to install Java 6.
