You need to install Java separately on Mac OS X 10.7 (related bugs: 645556
and 636455#c5). I checked at apple.com and Java for OS X Lion (version 1.0 Post Date: July 20, 2011 ) is available here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421
Quote: This release installs Java SE 6 version 1.6.0_26. OS X Lion does not provide a Java runtime by default.
I edited the article to link to http://support.apple.com/downloads#java_for_OS_X_Lion for Apple Support Downloads which brings up Java for OS X Lion as the first entry.

I installed Lion yesterday and it seems that when you try to open an application that uses java (Photoshop CS4 in my case), the OS just prompts you to install Java. You click Ok, it installs and then your app opens. It's pretty simple. Hopefully this won't trip many people up.
Too bad you didn't try going to a page that contains a Java applet in Firefox, before you had Java installed, to see what happens - missing plugin alert? Plugin Finder Service? "Inactive Plug-in" graphic after installing Java? (see bug 645556)

P.S. The "Enabling Java" section also needs updating. Right now it says, for Fx4, mac:
Click on the Java Plug-in 2 for NPAPI Browsers to select it.
The Java plugin name has changed on OS X Lion, to "Java Applet Plugin" according to bug 645556 comment 6. I'll start a new thread on that.
