The "HadoopJavaVersions" page has been changed by SomeOtherAccount: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HadoopJavaVersions?action=diff&rev1=5&rev2=6 Comment: Merged a few other java page content into this one, added some links, etc = Hadoop Java Versions = - Hadoop requires Java 1.6+. It is built and tested on Sun Java, which is the only "supported" JVM. + Hadoop requires Java 1.6+.

It makes for a fantastic performance and stress test. As Hadoop is becoming a key back-end datacenter application, good Hadoop support matters.
