I've long wondered what it would take to get the FreeBSD Java Port running on OS X, so this weekend I spent a couple days getting Java 1.6 running on my x86 Leopard machine.
Weekend is over, and I can report partial success -- hotspot compiles, the jre mostly bootstraps, and Hello World runs. Anything complex appears to trigger stack alignment issues (Apple's i386 API requires a 16-byte aligned stack)

+1 for someone actually attempting this. Others need to get off their @sses. :)

Incredible work! I was *planning* to attempt this too, but planning and actually doing stuff are two wildly different things.
