Hi Brian, As you noted, Pivot requires Java 6. I'm not sure why Apple chose not to provide a 32-bit version of Java 6 for OS X, but unfortunately it does mean that running Pivot apps in a web browser on OS X requires Snow Leopard or better. Pivot apps run on the desktop in OS X 10.5 should work fine. I have heard that you may be able to get Java 6 to run in the browser by selecting the "Run applets in their own process" checkbox in the Java preferences, but I'm not currently able to verify this myself (I am running 10.6).
As a workaround, you can deploy your application via JNLP to users who are still on 10.5. You don't need to do anything special in your code to enable this - Pivot applications run the same on the desktop or in the browser. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you. Hope this helps.
