Great! Just to really underscore this point:
If you are running Processing using PDE on Mac, just remember: installing / updating / changing / adding to the system Java on your Mac does not change which Java Processing uses at all. Processing.app uses its own Java in Processing.app/Contents/Java. You can use “Show Package Contents” in Finder to inspect it. If you used a Java system installer, those files in Processing.app will remain unchanged, and those are the files used when you run sketches.
So installing Java on your Mac might have somehow changed something about how your Mac runs overall if you have Java apps running in the environment – I’m glad if you are seeing better performance of your desktop for some reason! – but if you are using Processing.app, installing Java on your Mac doesn’t change anything about the Java that Processing.app uses or how it uses it.
