Oh really, is it that bad?

Currently Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 2 is in beta, it is based on
1.6.0_07, the latest stable release from Sun.

hmmm... to test this beta you need to install it and lose the old version. So if it breaks stuff you need, then you need to reinstall OS X get back to the old version that works. I wonder how many eyeballs look at the beta releases.

All GUI stuff in the apple.laf package is rewritten since 10.5 Leopard.

They are definitely developing for new Java releases and are catching
up. The decision to go 64-bit guarantees at least a solid
future-oriented development.
