loading the java applet on that one failed for me, but os x comes with both the java runtime and development environments installed and configured. J2SE 5.0 actually

Java is integrated into Mac OS X and is supported and updated by Apple. There is no need to go back to Sun for Java updates as you would on a Windows machine. Instead, it is maintained by Software Update.

In short, Java is already installed on your system. Chances are it's just the website that has issues.
