Are Apple going to ship any sort of Java runtime with 10.7? I (and some of my team) use Intellij on OSX. Are we not going to be able to upgrade to 10.7?
While Apple hasn't been specific, I'm taking that to mean "no pre-installed JVM beginning with 10.7". Apple only mentioned 10.7 this past week (with very few specifics). Wikipedia suggests that the release date for 10.7 will be 'Summer 2011'. The problem may be real, but there is time to find solutions.
You were able to install Intellij on top of OSX. What's stopping you from installing Java too?
Where do you get this Java from to install on OSX? I just checked the Oracle Java site, and they only have it for Solaris, Linux, and Windows.
There is no official Oracle release for Mac OS X. Your options (right now) are Apple's official JDK (which comes preinstalled), or OpenJDK (http://openjdk.java.net/).
