Updating Java: Boring Topic, Exciting Results

Eclipse, NetBeans, GWT, and other Java-dependent software just got better and way faster on my Mac OS X machine. I had to pay a visit to "Java Preferences" -- which is an application! -- and drag Java SE 6 (64 bit) into FIRST place in the list of Java runtimes. Previously, I guess I was always hitting Java 1.5 (or Java 5, as the case may be -- what kind of naming scheme is this, anyway??)

Can verify the changes succeeded by running "java -version" from the command line, before and after.

I had to do this in order to get my first Google Wave Robot working. And now it works!
