7u11 did not self update on Lion

The auto-update only updated the vulnerable Java applet plug-in in /Library/Internet Plug-ins. The JDK (developer tools) you installed in /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines was not touched.

You developer command-line tools will not be modified, even if you install newer versions - the newer versions should install side-by-side with the old ones.

It's a feature, not a bug!
