I am looking at getting a new computer; and was/am considering a mac.

As such I have started looking into Java 6 support; and I noticed that
it was actually released for macs - but not really. It seems that
Java6 is 64 bit only; and does not work with the first generation of
Intel machines; etc..

There are a couple Java 6 ports for mac (making use of X11 for swing
etc...). I wonder since we are using SWT if we could get away with one
of these Java 6 ports (and just include it as our "jre" in the udig
release?). I have no idea of the quality of these ports but ...

It looks like this stuff is under some kind of research license; seems odd.
