Not really a roadblock, it just means setting up a mac with java requires an install <http://www.java.com/en/download/help/mac_install.xml>. They have a placeholder so if you type "java" it invites you to install. Oracle is providing Java 7 and 8 for mac, Apple if providing Java 6 (and keeps it up to date with security patches so far).
It seems there is a vast gulf between Java 6 (i.e. conservative deployment environments) and anything else. If we are going to leave Java 6 is there any reason not to skip ahead to 8? Aside I have some recent experience trying out Oracle Java 7 recently - introduced some rendering test failures (based on reading a GeoTIFF coming back with 4 bands rather than the expected 3).
