Apple released java updaters for Mac OS X 10.5 and Mac OS X 10.4 today.
On the Apple Java-dev list they gave the following information:
> Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 3 and Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 8 were just released to Software Update. These updates deliver improvements to the security and compatibility of Java on Mac OS X, and address a resource loading issue that affected Java Web Start applications on both 10.4 and 10.5.
>
> Manual installers and additional information are available at:
>
> [http://support.apple.com/downloads/Java … _Update\_3_](http://support.apple.com/downloads/Java_for_Mac_OS_X_10_5_Update_3_)
> [http://support.apple.com/downloads/\_Jav … \_Release\_8](http://support.apple.com/downloads/_Java_for_Mac_OS_X_10_4__Release_8)
Of course it’s also available via Software Update.
As always, make backups first.
Hope this helps.

Yep, and when you want to know more about what they actually did change besides the security stuff you are stuck.
They are as informative as ever ![:?]( "Confused")

I installed it on a test server (Mac OS X 10.5.6 Server) and so far it all seems stable. Tested 4.1 and 3.5.7.

Any change in the Look&Feel? Is it still usable? I’m not asking if there are improvements because knowing Apple so well I know there aren’t, but at least I hope they didn’t break anything… ![:)]( "Smile")

I am already working with it in eclipse and servoy 4 eclipse.
No noticable changes I believe…
I see no comments on macfixit (yet) either…

Everything seems to work fine here with Servoy 3.5.8 after the Java update on OS X 10.5.6.
No LAF issues noticed.
