Apple has updated Java for OS X 10.7 Lion and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. The update delivers improved security, reliability, and compatibility by updating Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_35.

The update configures the Java plug-in to deactivate when no applets are run for an extended period of time. If the prior update named “Java for OS X 2012-004” wasn’t installed, this update will disable the Java web plug-in immediately.

Java applets may be re-enabled by clicking the region labeled “Inactive plug-in” on a web page. For more info go to http://macte.ch/wY7Mn .
