Give the masses WebObjects 6 for Cocoa and then kill of Java if you're going to do something like this instead of scaling back their java development on 64bit only.
This release of Java for Mac OS X includes improvements for Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition 5.0 (J2SE 5.0) and Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition 1.4.2 (Java 1.4.2) on Mac OS X. It features Apple?s implementation of Sun?s J2SE Versions 1.5.0_13 and 1.4.2_16.
Java 6 for Leopard 10.5.1 or greater is for Intel 64Bit only. Both PPC and Intel 32 are not included.
Next, Apple has finally seeded Java SE 6 Preview 8 for Leopard. Apple had been secretive about the Java 6 support for Leopard and the product launch was met with disappointment amongst Java developers hoping for support for the latest version. Tonight's release provides an implementation of Sun's Java SE 6 for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and includes Java SE 6 version 1.6.0_01. This latest seed requires a 64-bit capable Intel-powered Mac and is described as having received only limited testing thus far.
Current Java 6 is:
java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode)
Aren't there open source projects working on Java 6 for OSX?
Anyway, it's a public secret Steve Jobs doesn't like Java, but they still can't afford to stop supporting it. Java is VERY popular, and it doesn't matter if Steve think it's outdated (IIRC native Mac apps use much older program languages, not an expert on this) I highly doubt the final version will still only support 64bit Intel...

It's the 8th revision of testing. It's for 64bit Intel OS X 10.5.1+ only.
You don't test specifically on the most recent hardware/os combo and then later produce a "legacy" PPC/Intel(32/64) Tiger support without having it tested in the wild.

What are you talking about? There was a Java 6 update for Tiger just before I upgraded to Leopard.
Java update 6 is not Java 6.
You're referring to this:

Ok, that sucks.
