Java for OS X 2014-001 (Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_71) ?

Hello,
couldn't find a special Java section at the Apple Support Community, so I've put it to the Mavericks board.
I know Java 6 is no longer a standard part of OS X and has to be installed manually since some time, but you know some applications and installers need it (Juniper Network Connect, Cisco VPN Client, Adobe Illustrator Installer, ... to name some).
Last week Oracle released some important Java Updates, so Java 7 for OS X is now at version 51.
But the new Update 71 for Java 6 has to be released by Apple, normally it should named like "Java for OS X 2014-001" and update Java SE 6 to v1.6.0_71.
( Like they did before with Java for OS X 2013-005, which updated Java SE 6 to v1.6.0_65 @ http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572 )
I'am really wondering why Apple is not releasing the Java 6 Update as fast as possible, because it will close some really dangerous security issues!
Maybe anybody at Apple will give us an answer?

Hi Marcel_75,
Don't expect an answer from Apple on this forum, we're all users just like you helping eachother out. Apple put Java support back in the hands of Oracle because of that very reason (amongst other things), they could not push out updates fast enough. By lettings Oracle handle this for every platform every Java user is assured of the latest patches as soon as posible.
In this case, who knows what's taking Apple so long. It has been almost a week.

  • Uninstall java 6 Yosemite (Java for OS X 2014-001)

    In order to run certain Apps and an Uninstaller from an older app under OS X 10.10, I was requested to install Java 6 (legacy), which I did successfully (Java for OS X 2014-001).
    But now, that I do not need Java any more I would like to uninstall it. Any idea how to proceed? Would it be enough to just remove the plugin JavaAppletPlugin.plugin, from my System>Library>Java folder? Thanks.

    Will this download remove/replace or overwrite my Java 7 install?
    (Java for OS X 2014-001 includes installation improvements, and supersedes all previous versions of Java for OS X. This package installs the same version of Java 6 included in Java for OS X 2013-005. Please quit any Java applications before installing this update)

    What FOLLOWING paragraph?
    The statement in parentheses say is "all previous versions of Java for OS X". In my understanding of the word previous, it does not mean replacing anything newer, such as version JAVA7 which is newer than version 6.

  • Java for OS X 2014-001

    When I click "download" on Java for OS X 2015-001 it send me to a blank page on Safari. How do I download it without it doing that?

    It looks like that link is currently dead; even Google only shows one comment on that and it's on a discussionsjapan.apple.com web page, translated as "the file of the above page (JavaForOSX2014-001.dmg) are broken links" so the link must have been broken very recently.

  • I keep getting an error when trying to install Java for OS X 2014-001

    I was trying to download this because I was getting errors when trying open some applications saying you need Java 6 and it directed me to the download link for this but it always gets and error when installing.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Select
              /var/log ▹ install.log
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen. The contents of the log will appear on the right. Each log message begins with a timestamp. Select the messages from the time of the last installation or update attempt. If you're not sure when that was, click the Clear Display button in the toolbar of the Console window and then try the installation again. Select the new messages that appear. Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    ☞ If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    ☞ When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    ☞ Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    ☞ Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. You may need to use a text editor with search and replace, such as TextEdit.

    The link to apple support doesn't result in a download of any kind. I have a 15" MacBook w/ Retina display purchased in May 2014 w/ Yosemite 10.10 installed. Any ideas?

    Of course it won't work because that's not the correct link. The beginning of every URL should be "http://". Yours is "mudesktop." The URL should be:

    If you don't have it already installed, it will not update it.
    Does this update install the Java soft if we do not have it already
    or does it simply disables the famous Java SE 6 applet plug-in?
    It updates it if you already have Java SE 6 installed. It also temporarily disables the plug-in so that it won't run automatically, but will allow you to re-enable it.

  • Deinstall Java for OS X

    Hi all,
    some time ago I installed Java for Mavericks from Java for OS X 2014-001
    Now I need to install a least Java Version 1.7 because I would like to use Netbeans 8. As I don't need version 1.6 anymore I would like to deinstall that. I couldn't find any information on how to do that. Does anybody know how to deinstall Java for OS X?
    Thanks in advance!

    Unnecessary, since you can have both installed. To install SE 7, DL jre-7u60-macosx-x64.dmg and install it.
