Sep 04, 2009 In tandem with the release of Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 5, Apple has posted two additional Support articles outlining the versions it patches, as well as the exact issues it addresses.This. Java for OS X is an Apple vetted Java environment, designed to be as highly integrated as possible within its own operating system. Java for OS X has been created to mix OS X's advanced technologies and Java's adaptability and omnipresence on almost all software platforms out there. 'Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 1 has apparently broken 'Power E.Trade Pro'. When starting it on my iMac Core 2 Duo (10.5.2), I now get the message 'Java Starting' followed by 'Failed to validate.
Apple updated Java for both Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5.8) and Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6.6) on Tuesday, including the server versions of both OSes. Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 4 and Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 9 are both security updates for the technology.
Accordingly, the patch notes are somewhat…dry. To wit:

You can download the update for your Mac through Software Updare. For Snow Leopard, it’s a 78.2MB download.
After encountering problems with 'Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 5' using Software Update, I followed Topher Kessler's advice (See the posts in this forum entitled 'Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 5 - Problems' :- commencing 10 September and concluding 13 September).
I downloaded directly from Apple's Security site. I installed and restarted. BUT, on looking at the Installed Updates in Software Update, the most recent update indicated (15 August 2009) is 'Security Update 2009-004'. I opened up the Log File in Software Update and, again '..-004' is the most recent update indicated. *My question is this:-* 'Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 5' includes 'Security Update 2009-005' (Double O FIVE), but after installing and re-installing 'Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 5' three (3) times, as far as I can tell 'Security Update 2009-005' has NOT been installed on my Mac. Am I looking in the wrong place ? Has 'Security Update 2009-005', in fact, BEEN installed ? Where should I look to verify this ? Free Mac Os X 10.5
