There has been some speculation that Apple's Snow Leopard would finally include a version of Java 6 that works on 32-bit Intel hardware. Now that the OS has been released, can anybody confirm whether or not this is the case?
If anybody here has installed Snow Leopard on a 32-bit machine, could you please run the following command and report the output?
java -version
Answer
I have a 32-bit only Mac and did a fresh install of Snow Leopard. It is an original black MacBook (model 1,1).
Here is the output for 'java -version' which would be the default java version (as of initial Snow Leopard launch, 10.6.0):
java version "1.6.0_15"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_15-b03-219)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.1-b02-90, mixed mode)
Update: As of today, OS X 10.6.4 we have:
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02-279-10M3065)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 16.3-b01-279, mixed mode)
