Question

Two part question…

1. I’ve read in other posts that Apple’s personal version of Java is
   deprecated. If I am running lion and already their personal
   version installed, what problems will occur if I install the version 7
   from Oracle. Will it run out of the box or will there be conflicts?
   What configuration is necessary. Will I loose the apple look and feel
   by default on apps.

2. Is Java DB installed by default with the Apple version of the JDK. Is it installed with the Oracle version for OSX Lion?

Thanks 🙂

Answer 1

1. The official Oracle Java 7 will be out later this year It’s not currently supported on the mac.
2. It’s not, but since it’s just a repacking of Apache Derby, you can go grab that
