| JDK 7 for Mac OS X Fri, 11 May 2012 07:08:00 -0500 Java SE 7 Update 4 turned out to be an exciting release for Mac users. This is the first release from Oracle to have a version of the JDK and JavaFX 2.1 SDK for the Mac OS X. The first thing to note is this release is only for systems running Mac OS X Lion (v10.7.2) or later. Older Mac systems will be sticking to the Java for Mac JDK 6 versions previously released by Apple. Also, this release doesn't support Java plugin and Java Web Start applications. This will be available in an upcoming JDK 7 release. There is a developer preview release for the JRE for Mac OS X with applet support available to try. Have a look at the known issues section if you have any problems. NetBeans v7.1.2 supports the Java SE 7 Update 4 release.

| Java for OS X Lion 2012-003 Released Sun, 15 Apr 2012 17:02:00 -0500 Hot on the heels of Java for OS X Lion 2012-002 there is a new Java update - Java for OS X 2012-003 (along with Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 8). The Java for OS X Lion 2012-002 patched several security flaws including the Flashback virus. If you haven't heard, the Flashback malware is a trojan virus that aims to steal usernames and passwords for online services. Java for OS X 2012-003 and Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 8 remove the virus from infected computers. After installing, if your computer was infected with Flashback a dialog will appear informing you that it has been dealt with. If your computer was not infected then there is no notification. Java for OS X 2012-003 also adds a deactivation timer for the Java browser plugin and Java Web Start. If they are unused for 35 days they are deactivated. Users can reactivate the Java browser plugin and Java Web Start from the Java Preferences application in the Utilities folder. The update will come through the software updater or can be downloaded from the Apple downloads page.

| GOTO Statement to be Included in JDK8? Mon, 02 Apr 2012 17:28:00 -0500 Joe Darcy announced yesterday a late-breaking language change for JDK8 - the inclusion of a goto statement. He cited "increased expressiveness" and "more compact code" as inherent motivations behind the change. I thought this was pretty funny for an April's fool joke. If you were switched on yesterday you hopefully spotted the April 1st creation date - although if you're living in a different time zone you might be forgiven for a bit of head scratching at the start!Other clues were the change being reviewed by Duke and endorsed by Edsger Dijkstra (Dijkstra was particularly scornful of the GOTO statement). If you're a sci-fi fan you might have also noticed the change is funded by the Firefly's evil Blue Sun Corporation. If you did fall for it then GOTO jail. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200...Related Articles: 24 Google April Fool's Day Jokes and PranksGOTO Statement to be Included in JDK8? originally appeared on About.com Focus on Java on Monday, April 2nd, 2012 at 17:28:39.Permalink | Comment | Email this |
