Phil & Jmol'ers—I can add to this discussion. I've upgraded to Lion, and have experienced minimal trouble with the Java distribution recommended by Apple for downloading. It's primary downside is bad integration with the browser; if you're a Mac Chrome user you know the annoying "Java Applet" program that appears when you sometimes run applets in the browser—that now appears while working in Safari too. As far as I can tell, it shows up primarily when external windows are opened (e.g., the Jmol Console).
I've put the applet through substantial testing over the past few days (new web-based Jmol interface coming soon, stay tuned! :D), and everything seems to be working fine.
