I have been using Java6 on Snow Leopard with intelliJ, works fine - I run it 64 bit, might try 32 bit. Doesn't really feel fast (swing apps seem to be more sluggish then usual to me). You can also turn on a few JVM options for example to compress pointers when it can (otherwise 64 bit may use quite a bit more memory for the same functionality).
BUt overall, not impressed, but not disappointed. Java6 seems solid enough on OS-X, and the 32bit mode is really quite nice to have. I would be far, far happier if it was all OpenJDK all the way down though... (not sure why, just gut feel).
