I know this is old and all but it kinda peaked my interest.
I read on and wow, you obviously didn't find this: https://www.java.com/en/download/help/mac_install.xml
That's a free installer. The only downside is that due to Google (this is Google's fault btw) not having a 64 bit chrome on mac (which I believe by now this is fixed) Java won't work in Chrome. But I believe Chrome has 64 bit builds.
But kudos to apple for ditching 32 bit.
