Java is not installed by default on a Mac running the Lion (10.7) operating system.
Typically when the user opens a web page that has content that requires Java, the user will be prompted to install it.
Apple also has a free update to install Java here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421
Also make sure that Java is enabled in the Java Preferences as shown below.
