One benefit might be upgrading your mac :) To run java 6 on OS X you need macs with Intel Core 2 Duo or Xeon processors. Still, apple is only on: java version "1.6.0_05" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_05-b13-120) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0_05-b13-52, mixed mode) -Ro > I > also want to be sure that I can still directly manipulate and chain > variable scopes as I can using the Rhino API in Java 5.
