Oracle patching Mac Java directly should prevent fiascos like Flashback from happening again.

doesn't look this would have helped: "Note that for the 7u4 release, Java plugin and Java Web start applications are not supported."

LOL, also, that's ok, I don't enable java plugins on the web anyways.

I don't usually either, but I like to use JSPerf from time to time which prefers you use their Java plugin for timing accuracy.

Some useful information on usage (including with NB and IntelliJ) here - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-... GUI Apps look weird with the Oracle VM - looks like the Cocoa integration is not yet done.

Not _yet_? OpenJDK has that as a goal " rel="nofollow">http://openjdk.java.net/projects/macosx-port/>, but I do not remember Oracle stating anything about Cocoa integration, so I do not expect anything in that respect from Oracle.
