I know when Leopard came out everybody (well, everybody that was a Java developer and cared enough to do development on a Mac) was pissed that there was no Java 6 SDK support. I know somebody provided some kind of hack way a few months after Leopard was released, but I could have sworn that I read sometime later that Apple and/or Sun finally put out an official version of the Java 6 SDK.
So now a year and a half later I am finally interested in doing some Java dev on the Mac (thank Google App Kit for that). But when I go to Apple’s Java site… all I see is stuff about Java 5.
So, can I do Java 6 on a Mac?

Yes, JDK6 is available.
However, some versions of Eclipse do not support it. There is a new one (based on Cocoa) that should but it is not officially available.
