Apple will remove java from OSX with Lion, so what?
I don’t get all the fuss about Apple no longer shipping java with OSX. Windows never did. Linux does not. So what?
Actually, with Lion, they will make it extremely easy to install anyways. According to early reports about the developer preview release, when a user tries to run a java application (or install one), the operating system will look online for the latest runtime virtual machine and prompt the user to install it. IT’S EVEN EASIER THAN ON WINDOWS, PEOPLE!

I can second this. Upon attempting to launch jDownloader, It simply closed and presented me with a dialog box saying that java needs to be installed – click install, done. It seems that Apple are always looking for ways to make things easier for their user and to do their best to rectify the issue, as apposed to Microsoft, where an error is "aways the users fault."
