Referring only to that publicly-available page, are you allowed to comment on whether those platform requirements are temporary, or if they also refer to the eventual released product?

http://developer.apple.com/java/

"This version of Java for Mac OS X requires an Intel-based Mac capable of running 64-bit applications, including computers with Core 2 Duo processors and any Mac Pro computer."

Is this projected to be strictly a 64-bit Intel platform? My PowerBook G4 is wondering if it will ever be able to run Java 6.

In the past, the available-to-all developer previews have been
discussed on this list, but the ADC page still has strong statements
about only using Apple-provided feedback channels.

So, for the record: is it OK to discuss specifics about Java SE 6
Developer Preview 8 on java-dev or not?

Read the release notes...

"As specified in the ADC Terms and Conditions (PDF) for ADC
membership, this pre-release software and any information related to
this software cannot be discussed outside of Apple-approved feedback
channels."

"Please see the "Reporting bugs" section for details on how to give feedback."

Obviously, the existence of DP8, or it's requirements are no secret (see http://apple.com/java), however as it is unreleased software, we cannot discuss specific bugs or features in detail.

Prior discussion of developer previews does not implicitly mean that discussing current DP's is okay.

We would like to help everyone try the Java 6 Developer Previews as much as possible, but please adhere to your ADC confidentiality agreement and the instructions in the release notes. As always, please, please, please file bugs at http://bugreporter.apple.com, and let's try to keep the chatter on technical issues.
