Java For 10.4.11 Install As Well

After installing 10.4 from an original Tiger disk, then installing 10.4.11 combo update followed by Security Update 2009-005, I want to insure Im also using the most recent version of Java for this install as well.

But when I install Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 9, I get the message I need to install earlier version(s) first().

Java For 10.4.11 Software For MacOS

There is no need to install additional software for MacOS X 10.4.11.

I forget exactly which one is needed to start, but I think it might Release 4, which is around the point where Java 5 was released for 10.4.

Another approach is to work backwards until it works.

Its a big pain when bringing a new system up to date, but it made sense when each release was made at the time.

If you get no additional updates when you run Software Update, your Java is up-to-date along with all of your other Apple software.

Why would Apple post all these incrementally numbered Java release downloads on their site Are you saying the latest version of Java is automatically included and installed in either the 10.4.11 combo update andor the Security Update 2009-005 for 10.4 Having said this, please elaborate further on the certainty of your information that I dont need to update Java or install additional software for MacOS X 10.4.11.

If you start with a late 10.4 from an Intel Mac, say 10.4.10 on a Mac mini (Mid 2007), then many of them are probably included on the original install.

It does surprise me that each release since release 4 is around 80MB but these are Universal Binaries.

The exception is release 8 which is a paltry 1.6MB.

Release 4 was available as separate PPC and Intel builds at 30-40MB each.

EDIT: General rule of thumb: If Software Update says you need it and ticks it automatically, you DO need it.

One trick that may be handy is that 10.4.x was the first OS to allow you to queue installs.

Unfortunately for Java, the second last thing the installer does (writing package receipt) needs to be done before you can launch the next Java Update - this saves rebooting, which isnt required for Java Updates.
