Yes, 4.4 is not certified. There are issues (from top of my head something with 
comparators, utf-8, and few others) that were fixed only in 4.5.

Java 6 on Mac is supported by Apple not by Oracle, so AFAIL EOL from Oracle 
doesn't apply to it.

How often do you activate in development? There is a bug in Java 7 which gets 
exposed during activation and it's actually possible to being whole JVM down 
with SIGDEV on OSX. Once this issue is fixed by Oracle, Java 7 will be 
certified also for Mac.
