I've been resisting Lion as long as possible; am I correct in assuming that Java 7 is going to force me to install Lion?
This page is carefully vague about supported platforms; it just says that Java 7u4 has been "tested" on Mac OS X 10.7.3:

But the installer refuses to run on Snow Leopard. It reports:

OS X Lion required
This Installer is supported only on OS X Lion (10.7.0)

Some Snow Leopard versions of OpenJDK are available here: http://code.google.com/p/openjdk-osx-build/
