Java 6 on OS X 10.5
Java 6 on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
===============================
Apparently Java 6 (that is, 1.6) has been available on Mac OS X for
quite some time (ie. almost a year.) I was entirely unaware of this;
I'm probably not the only one. To enable Java 6, simply run
`/Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app`, and drag the available
JVMs into the order you prefer.
This will swap the default 'java', 'javac' etc to point to your first
choice, and make your Clojure error messages significantly nicer.
But its not available on 32bit machines! Joy!
