I only have 1.4.2 and 5.
Apple never released 6 on PPC machines.

I can understand if the issue is with the gui needing new system support.

My biggest port desire is a program that uses the Java accessibility
system to act as a customized screen reader for another program. That
other program is Java 5, and uses swing; the customized screen reader
is Java 6, but does no display stuff at all.
