If Oracle decides OSX is important enough platform, this might be even a good thing.

Agreed. I used to support a java web app and constantly had had issues with the OS X / Safari combo. Sometimes the browser couldn't find the binaries even though it was installed, but you couldn't reinstall or reinitialize it in any way. I never had any problems with Windows / Firefox.
