....and it appears Apple didn't. The update is called "Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 6." It's available here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/javaformacosx104release6.html But this isn't Java 6 (or Java 1.6 if you prefer). "Release 6" in this case is merely updating J2SE 5.0 to version 1.5.0_13 and Java 1.4 to version 1.4.2_16. It's what IBM might call a PTF package or service update to the Java 5 and Java 4 versions. (Another clue is that the release notes say that "Leopard," a.k.a. Mac OS X 10.5, already has these updates. Mac OS X 10.5 did not ship with Java 6.) Apple still has a few days to get Java 6 out the door before IBM does.
