Brice Arnould commented on HADOOP-2325:
---------------------------------------
Have you tried with IcedTea ? It's the JDK I use to build and run Hadoop on my
Ubuntu/x86 system. It seems that it have been ported to MacOS 10.4 [1], and
that it can be built on PowerPC [2], but I'm unsure about the combination of
the two.

> 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.
