Java 1.6.0_35 Out on Software Updates

Software Update

This morning I noticed that Java 1.6.0_35 was updated on Software Updates most likely due to a security issue that's been patched. Given the way Oracle is handling Java, I'm really wishing that Apple would retain control of Java for OS X. Right now, I'm wishing they had it slightly better integrated into the OS such that starting a JVM instance wasn't so time-consuming. Linux handles this with all the shared libs being loaded. Then it's a very lightweight thing to spin up the JVM. On OS X, it's a lot more.

Still, it's nice to see that they have at least one more update. Maybe cooler heads will prevail in the coming months? Most likely not, but a guy can wish, can't he?
