Anyone here have any experience (good or bad) with Leopard? I'm personally not going to upgrade at least until Java 6 is available for it.

Java 1.5.

Mostly things just hang. Running "ant --help" never finishes. IntelliJ locks up. It takes 10 min. to generate the javadocs for Cayenne. On top of that, there seems to be no real way to kill the processes. And reboots won't work. I've probably held in the power button to shut my machine down
30 times in the last two days.

Now, I did do an upgrade rather than a fresh install, so that could be a contributing factor. But, research into the issue indicates a lot of people
are having difficulty with Java.

This is Java 5, btw, which is the default version in Leopard.

I just recently got a replacement system, but it came with Tiger.
I've gotten the upgrade DVD now, but was going to wait until 10.5.1
was out. What kind or problems are you running into? Is it with Java
1.4 or 1.5?

Thanks,

Just a head's up for the Mac users . . . I've been less than pleased
with the experience of using Java on Leopard.  I've had a lot of
problems with IntelliJ and even running ant and maven from a command
line.  So much so that I'm likely to just use my bootcamp partition
until I can get around to reinstalling Tiger.



As always, YMMV, but just thought I'd throw out that caveat.
