Mt Lion Java on everyday usage

[Emile Schwarz]

Hi all,

first of all, please excuse my wrong doing (title) for my first porst (yesterday).

I will rephrase my question: I am totally lost in the clouds.

As a user point of view, and because troubles with Lion (and prior versions), I installed Mt Lion.

I DO NOT WANT TO USE browser java.

Now, I wanted to use JDownloader and I get a message telling me that I do not have Java installed and propose me to install Java 1.6.

I will do that because I have to go ahead, but it seems strange to me to have to install Apple Java (the old one) when Oracle Java (the younger one) is already installed.

Now, this afternoon, I will install NetBeans 7.3 and I hope I will not have troubles.

For the record:
can you tell me what is the actual java situation for end users and for developers.

a.k.a. what each one have to install for their java use ?

TIA,

Emile
