Since I'd be going from 1.4.2 to 1.6, that would mean a ton of bug fixes
and some new commands. More specifically though, native system tray
support.

Why? To quote Jobs' quote of Wayne Gretzky: "I skate to where the
puck is going to be, not where it is." There's lots of COBOL in the
world, too, and Apple's support for it is pathetic.
So how about a technical discussion here? I see little or no
technical advantage in the use of Java 6 on the Mac platform, barring
bug fixes. What in the world is in Java 6 that suddenly makes it so
vital?
