If it makes anyone happier I could for for Hadoop 0.17 and JDK 1.5 for Mahout 0.1, and then switch in Mahout 0.2-dev.

Yeah I thought it was generally available, at least for Intel Macs. I
had Java 6 on a PowerPC Tiger-based Mac, but it was as a developer
preview. Worked fine, if not fast. On Apple's site, the only developer
downloads for Java I see are documentations packages now. So
double-check if I'm right and it's already installed? Look in
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions


Just FYI (I have too much "experience" with this annoyance)

Java 6 was only available for a limited time for 10.4 for both PPC and Intel. They pulled it sometime in the summer of 07, pre- Leopard. It is still available around the net, just search for it-- it's a 55MB .dmg file.

On 10.5 Java 6 is only available for 64-bit intel machines (Core 2 Duo or better; anything bought in the last year should work.)

If you have a 32-bit intel machine you can use the open-source SoyLatte distribution, but I haven't confirmed Hadoop is OK with that.

If you have a PPC machine on 10.5, you're just out of luck w/r/t java 6.

Also note that if you have installed the developer preview of Java 6 on 10.4 and then upgrade to 10.5 java will simply not work at all. You need to uninstall it before upgrading.

Is Java 6 available for Mac OS X Tiger now? I'm using a mac and is worrying
if I can still compile and use Mahout on it.
