Does anybody know if there is a jdk6 available for Mac?  I checked the apple 
developer site, and there doesn't seem to be one available, despite blogs from 
last year claiming apple was distributing it.

Since I do my development work on a Mac, switching to jdk6 would be very 
difficult for me if I can't find a darwin jdk6.  I need to be able to build job 
jars and patch hadoop.

Yes, it seems I built the 0.14.2 release using 1.6 by accident.  Sorry!
  If this is a blocker for folks, please file an issue in Jira and I
will make a 0.14.3 tarball that's compiled with Java 1.5 instead.

Yes, that is the case.  Hudson uses Java 1.5.

Can you please file an issue in Jira for this?  Then folks can weigh in
there.
