Hi,

I can't see an OS/X JRE option on this Oracle Java7 downloads page: -
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre-7u4-download-1591157.html

But there does appear to be an Oracle supplied JDK for Java7 on OS/X
available here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u4-downloads-1591156.html

Is there a Java 7 run-time kit generally available for OS/X? Is it a
transitioning thing from Apple-supplied-Java to Oracle-supplied? Just
get everyone to download the JDK?

Cheers Richard Maher

<http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u4-downloads-1591156.html>
includes a JRE. It is generally available. It is for OS/X.

(There is no such nomenclature as "Java run-time kit".)

This looks to me like an Oracle-supplied Java, period.

Why would they want to "just get everyone to download the JDK"?

For whatever reason there does not seem to be a JRE 7u4 available
from Oracle.

The JRE page links to:

http://jdk7.java.net/macportpreview/

which has a JRE 7u6 DPR.

Take the JDK 7u4 or the JRE 7u6 DPR and don't waste your time
trying to understand Oracle.
