Nigel Daley commented on HADOOP-2325:
-------------------------------------

bq. Has anyone tried out the java 6 from 
http://landonf.bikemonkey.org/code/macosx/ ?

To be a little more direct....

Lack of Java 6 support on MacOS has been cited in the past as a reason to hold 
back on requiring Java 6 for Hadoop.  If you develop on the Mac, you should try 
out Owen's suggested open source Java 6 implementation with your IDE and post 
your feedback here.

> We should require Java 6 for release 0.16.  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.
