Correct, one can obtain the Java 6 JRE or JDK from Oracle's site. And there is a procedure, detailed on an Apple support page, for enabling the Apple-provided Java SE 6 web plug-in. However, then for purposes of Java programming with JDK, one is precluded from using Java 7. Unlike the former situation, Apple has changed things so that more than one JRE cannot live on OS X (and there is no longer a Preference panel to choose among different JREs installed).
