"About Java for OS X 2013-005 (63.98 MB)
(FYI: On May 29th, 2014 Apple renamed this "Java for OS X 2014-001" with installer 'improvements', I assume related to installing in later OS X versions since the original Oct. 2013 release.)

Java for OS X 2013-005 delivers improved security, reliability, and compatibility by updating Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_65.

On systems that have not already installed Java for OS X 2012-006, this update disables the Java SE 6 applet plug-in. To use applets on a web page, click on the region labeled "Missing plug-in" to download the latest version of the Java applet plug-in from Oracle.

Please quit any Java applications before installing this update.

System Requirements:
