This is *FALSE*. Java 6 is available on leopard. Java6 64-bit is
available as a standard apple VM and is installed on all deployments
of Mac OS X that haven't explicitly turned off system update.

Java6 32-bit is available too via the soylatte project, though running
GUI-based apps on this VM isn't advised, as it'll be ugly as heck and
requires firing up X11.app.
