Agreed, so I am especially looking for Mac users to give advice and/or offer to help. In particular SoyLatte is often suggested, but this requires that you be a research licensee. The openJDK release from the same source has recently appeared and is GPL of course and so has no such restriction, but it is marked beta and although I would be surprised if there were any problem with a command line app it would be good to have it confirmed.
I'll try out the openJDK and report my results. As I previously used SoyLatte on OS X 10.4 systems and did not have problems, I would suspect that openJDK will be similar. (The requirement of being a research licensee is a bit of a ruse, by the way.) Cheers.
