Java 6 For Leopard Is Coming
(Via Dean Wette on the OCI internal mac-user mailing list.)
Arnold Kim of MacRumors.com: Next, Apple has finally seeded Java SE 6 Preview 8 for Leopard. Apple had been secretive about the Java 6 support for Leopard and the product launch was met with disappointment amongst Java developers hoping for support for the latest version. Tonight's release provides an implementation of Sun's Java SE 6 for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and includes Java SE 6 version 1.6.0_01. This latest seed requires a 64-bit capable Intel-powered Mac and is described as having received only limited testing thus far.
If this rumor turns out to be true, it looks like my prediction from 52 days ago is fulfilled (with a bit of stretch):
Weiqi Gao: Through my crystal ball I see that by Christmas time, there should be Java 6 on Max OS X.
