I went to Apple's site and downloaded 1.5 update which includes 1.6 64bit. But the download page specifically said it does not change Mac's default setting.
In order to use the new Java 1.6 as the default JVM, need to do the following after the update is downloaded and installed:
1. Run /Aplication/Utilities/Java/Java Preferences
This is screen on my MacBookPro:
2. Click and drag Jave SE 6 64-bit to top of both list, and exit the program.
Now open a terminal, run
java -version
The result should be:
java version "1.6.0_07"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06-153)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0_07-b06-57, mixed mode)
