It seems that Apple has realized that there are many users that today still need to use Java 6 and therefore has released an update of Java 6 for OS X 10.11 El Capitan publicly. The update itself calls itself Java for OS X 2015-001 Beta.

This update installs the necessary support for Java 6 but for the future OS X El Capitan system. It is not an update to install in Yosemite but what Apple is looking for is that when the new system is released in the fall it can be used by more users without having any problem with applications that need Java 6.

If you are one of the many users who are testing the OS X 10.11 El Capitan you can download the update we are talking about from the following link. What this update does is install the old version of Java 6 that It came in the 2013-005 update allowing users of OS X 10.11 El Capitan to run older applets in addition to offering support to those applications that are not yet compatible with OS X.

As we can see, those from Cupertino seem to want the next version of OS X to arrive to delight users and not to be an added problem. Now we will have to wait until fall to see if OS X El Capitan truly it is a highly evolved system in terms of security and stability from OS X Yosemite.

Although Apple has released this update, it continues to advise users that in case the use of Java 6 is not necessary, they download the latest version available for OS X.
