Re: [libreoffice-users] Is it safe to install Java for OS X 2012-006 1.0

Hi :)
Just avoid getting the 6_39 version as that seemed to have problems specifically on Macs.  I think 
that you are usually pretty safe on Mac but of the 2 security issues in the last couple of years 
it's the java 6_39 that was the cause.  Hmm, or was it the _29?  Definitely had a 9 at the end.  I 
suspect the _37 is safer.  
Regards from
Tom :)
