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 :)
