Need some help - did I just install Java? What happened?

i needed free multi-person videoconferencing app, downloaded thing called oovoo. in order use oovoo, must install java:

http://www.oovoo.com/lp/mac_lion_advisory.html

went through , downloaded , installed successfully. question - happened, , did necessary? i.e., in java preferences, under utilities, if had checked "enable applet plug-in..." box, have been prompted install java @ all? , if not, did "extra" java installed go? because don't see different anywhere.

i'm confused. being windows user of life made me obsessive keeping system clean , clutter-free (not easy feat on windows sometimes). love thing , i'm paranoid becoming cluttered turd little bit uneasy when gets installed , don't know went. insight helpful, tia.

 

open terminal , type "java -version." following:

code:

 *** $ java -version  java version "1.6.0_29"  java(tm) se runtime environment (build 1.6.0_29-b11-402-11m3527)  java hotspot(tm) 64-bit server vm (build 20.4-b02-402, mixed mode)  *** $  

if see this, installed java. if go applications -> utilities, find called "java preferences." should contain further information java installation.

don't worry, it's not gonna hurt or mac
