Okay: I don't know either ('if' or 'when', that is), and I'm pissed it wasn't with 10.5. I just wanted to get that out of the way first.

(web.archive.org) Seems that (web.archive.org) a lot of other (web.archive.org) people are also (web.archive.org) if not pissed are not happy.

However I just (web.archive.org) read a timeline of Java releases correlated with OS X releases. Seems like there really is a pattern of Java updates shipping slightly after an OS X major release update. Maybe, as Eric Burke points out, we really should calm down a bit and have some patience and expect an update soon. I do hope that's the case.

Really.
