If you are asking where to download the latest Java Update 7 for Mac OS
X 10.6, it is available here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1516
You will not be able to install it if you are running Mac OS X 10.6.3,
because this Java update requires Mac OS X 10.6.8.
First, you need up to update to Mac OS X 10.6.8, and you may need to
install other Java updates first. (10.6.8 has had subsequent security
updates which should also be installed, along with various other updates
such as Safari.)
The 10.6.8 combo update is here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
The normal way to manage update on a Mac is to use Software Update under
the Apple menu, which connects to Apple's servers, finds out what
software Apple has available to update what you are currently running,
and by default downloads all updates automatically then asks whether you
want to install them. (You can configure this behaviour in System
Preferences > Software Update.)
If you can't use Software Update for some reason, then nearly everything
it offers is available for manual download and install via
http://support.apple.com/downloads, but working out what can be
installed on your system is difficult (especially if you are catching up
on a lot of missed updates).
I get most of my updates from support.apple.com/downloads, and keep them
so I can use them on several computers, have them if I need to reinstall
for some reason, and to reduce the amount of Internet traffic (keeping
my broadband costs down).
I still use Software Update to check what is available, and have it
check automatically every week, but I turned off its 'Download updates
automatically' setting.

OS: Mac OS X 10.7.3

How to tell what version of Mac OS X you are running
- Apple Menu () -> 'About this Mac...'
Where to get it
- Apple Menu () -> 'App Store...'

Note: Mac OS X 10.7 will be the only version of Mac OS X supported by Oracle. 10.6.8 + Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 6 should continue to work for the foreseeable future. We do not expect to use 10.7-only API in the codebase.

Xcode

4.1 required for Mac OS X 10.7.3
- Where to get it
  - Apple Menu () -> 'App Store...', free download
- Run Xcode, choose Preferences -> Downloads -> Components, then select and install Command Line Tools
- In a shell, run the following command:
3.2.6 required for Mac OS X 10.6.8
- Compiler flag fixes which correctly aligns the stack between function calls in 32-bit processes (3.2.6)
- Where to get it
- http://developer.apple.com (Mac Dev Center section)

After you install Xcode, you will have to install Java for Mac OS X 10.7 Update 1, Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 6, or a later developer preview to correct headers in the JavaRuntimeSupport framework.
