Notifications about disabled Java and restoring prompts
The installer notifies you if Java content is disabled in web browsers, and provides instructions for enabling it. If you previously chose to hide some of the security prompts for applets and Java Web Start applications, the installer provides an option for restoring the prompts. The installer may ask you to reboot your computer if you chose not to restart an internet browser when it prompted you to do so.

When I upgrade to Mavericks, it uninstalls Java 1.6. I can install Java 7, but for some applications and development work, I still need access to Java 6. How can I reinstall Java 6 in Mavericks?
Apple docs generally recommend downloading Java directly from Oracle, but I don't see a Mac version listed on the Oracle download page for Java SE 6.
Update
I was able to install parts of Java 6, with an Apple Support update. But Maven is still missing.

You can download Java SE 6 for OS X from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572
For Maven support you can use brew (as stated above) or, if you don't want to install brew just for Maven support, you can download it directly from maven.apache.org. Here's the steps I took to get Maven setup on a fresh install of Mavericks:

This works on OS X 10.11 (El Capitan). I've used Homebrew to install JDK 1.6.0_65:

When I tried the accepted answer, I didn't see the new JDK 1.6 in /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/
I had to go to https://developer.apple.com/downloads/ search for 'java', download the latest, and install that. Then the JDK 1.6 appeared.
