Michael Bieniosek commented on HADOOP-2325:
-------------------------------------------
I'm not sure I understand the point of this patch: are there any actual
dependencies on java6 we want to introduce? Users can certainly run hadoop in
java6 vms if they wish, but making it impossible for mac 10.4 desktop users to
use hadoop is a big problem for me.

> We should require Java 6 for release 0.17. Java 6 is now available for OS/X.
> Hadoop performs much better on Java 6. And, finally, there are features of
> Java 6 (like 'df') that would be nice to use.
