I have a question about OS x 2013-002 1.0 the Java update the showed up recently

Installing the update only updates the resident Java 6 JRE component. Doesn't hurt to have it installed. I have both.

Hi Baltwo,

Does it install even though you may have it checked as disabled, like it would be ready for use if you were to enable it for a short while?

AFAIK, yes.

AFAIK, order doesn't matter, since it's operating on different items.

I updated two iMacs this morning with both the Apple OSX Java update and the Java update (17) this morning. On my older iMac (2007) all is working fine. On my newer iMac (2011) all works fine for awhile, but then I start getting probelms. Programs like Address Book, iTunes, and iCal won't open from the dock, and Safari won't load web pages. Need to use force quit to get out of them. After a restart, all is back to normal again for awhile. Both computers are running Lion 10.7. Everything was working fine on both computers prior to the Java updates, so I'm wondering what my one computer doesn't like about the latest updates.

Best to post your issue in the Lion forums. AFAIK, there's no relationship between what your experiencing and the Java updates.
