New Oracle OpenJDK Will Deliver Linux, Windows and Mac Java 7 update

There is a new OpenJDK update that is due to drop in the next two weeks, before month's end. eSecurity Planet has learned that for the first time, OS X will be part of that release. Unfortunately, that release will only be the JDK (Java Developer Kit) and not the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) that end-users install. It is, however, the first official step in the process that will soon lead to a release of a Java JRE for Mac OS X at the same time as it is available for Windows, Linux, and Solaris users.
