Installs a Developer folder? - Version: 1.6.0_05, 5/1/2008 08:33AM PST

After I used Software Update to install this Java update on my MacBook (Late 2007), I noticed that as part of the installation a Developer folder had been created at the root level of my boot drive. There's not much in that folder (just a couple of aliases), but it surprised me that such an installation would create a Developer folder. Anyone else notice this? or wonder at its necessity?

I couldn't stand not to make this bad joke but it is real. If you are desperate for a Java 6 application and that Application isn't too much aggressive about CPU , you can run Java 6 inside Windows XP running Microsoft Virtual PC 7 if you have it.
Shame of this bad joke belongs to Apple, nobody else. Not really a joke, I actually did it to see how Java 6 looks.
Another option:
Java 6 for 64bit G5 running Linux exists for 18 months now, available from IBM. It is not a preview or beta, it is rock solid pure Java already running in their JS Blades.
Not a option:
I am not giving up a G5 Quad workstation which works perfectly to get "Java 6". In your dreams, whoever took that decision.
If you have a 64bit Intel mac, don't hesitate to get this update. Java 6 performs great even on Virtual PC running Windows XP SP2.

I have a MBP 2.4 GHz, Leopard 10.5.2. I used software update and it came up. I installed it with no problems so far. One thing that you have to do is go into your utilities folder>Java>java pref application, and then choose this version to be your default version of Java. Hopefully Apple will have versions for all the rest of our older computers soon.
