Java for OS X 2013-005
Apple releases Java for OS X 2013-005.
From the release notes:
This release updates the Apple-provided system Java SE 6 to version 1.6.0_65 and is for OS X versions 10.7 or later.
This update uninstalls the Apple-provided Java applet plug-in from all web browsers. To use applets on a web page, click on the region labeled “Missing plug-in” to go download the latest version of the Java applet plug-in from Oracle.
I do not really have the need for Java if not for Adobe Creative Suite.
