Does anybody know if there is a jdk6 available for Mac? I checked the apple developer site, and there doesn't seem to be one available, despite blogs from last year claiming apple was distributing it.

Since I do my development work on a Mac, switching to jdk6 would be very difficult for me if I can't find a darwin jdk6. I need to be able to build job jars and patch hadoop.

Yes, it seems I built the 0.14.2 release using 1.6 by accident. Sorry!
If this is a blocker for folks, please file an issue in Jira and I
will make a 0.14.3 tarball that's compiled with Java 1.5 instead.
I believe the QA framework runs
the unit tests under 1.5 to ensure that we don't break 1.5 compatibility
accidently.
Yes, that is the case. Hudson uses Java 1.5.
I do think it is worth changing the requirement up to java 1.6, but of
course not as a patch release. *smile* (The performance of socket
polling is much much better under 1.6.) I would not recommend running
Hadoop under java 1.5 unless you don't have a choice.
Can you please file an issue in Jira for this? Then folks can weigh in
there.

    JDK6 has been available as a "developer preview" for Mac for a while.
    Is there a problem with that version?

    Yepp ...some APIs weren't finalized. (e.g. JSR199 is not compatible)

    Wait a few weeks. jdk6 (jse 6) should be in the Leopard Mac OS X
    release, c. 26 Oct.

    Apple used to have a beta 1.6 JDK available, but it looks like it was
    pulled from their developer site recently. I tried using the beta a
    while back, and found that some apps wouldn't work with it, so it might
    not be a good solution anyways.

    I'm a bit confused by this discussion though. How would compiling the
    jars with Java 1.5 and running on 1.6 degrade performance (assuming that
    the jars don't use any new 1.6 APIs)?

    It won't. The claim is just that running with Java 1.5 degrades
    performance significantly. The source code is compatible with Java 1.5,
    and code compiled with Java 1.5 runs efficiently in Java 1.6.

    So recompilation will make 0.14.2 work in Java 1.5 and Java 1.6. This
    has been the way we normally produce Hadoop releases: compile with Java
    1.5 and recommend Java 1.6 as the runtime. I made a mistake when
    building 0.14.2, and used Java 1.6 to compile it, and no one noticed
    until after the release was published.

    The question is whether this warrants a 0.14.3 release, compiled with
    Java 1.5. I'm currently leaning that way.

    Ah, okay. I thought Owen was suggesting that we move to requiring java 1.6 for compilation or runtime, but it appears it is still a little early for that in terms of availability of java 1.6.

    Hello,

    Does the jdk6 developer preview install in:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions?

    Is your CurrentJDK symbolic link changed?

    Will 12.3 Hadoop code still run?

    Thanks,

    Peter W.

    There is a beta (available from the ADC) but it is terribly outdated!
    I hope they get their act together soon :(
