If you are an Apple Developer (and you can do so for free at the
lowest level) there is a "beta" release of JDK 1.6 available now. It
is Leopard only however.

This is a "heads up" on future JDK requirements:
We are expecting to have a reasonably stable release of the CDM
(Netcdf-Java) library version 4.0 by June, and a TDS 4.0 release a
few months after that.
The CDM library version 4.0 will require JDK 1.5, while TDS 4.0
will require 1.6. Its likely that subsequent releases of CDM after
4.0 will also require 1.6.
We have backed out 1.6 changes for now, to allow a voluntary
transition to 1.6. We think the 1.6 advantages (performance, bug
fixes, new features) are important enough to "encourage" our users
to make the transition.
If you are a Mac user, I hope you will add whatever pressure you
can to Apple getting JDK 1.6 finished. Otherwise, please start
transitioning to 1.6, in whatever way is needed by your institution.
If there are technical difficulties or other show-stoppers please
let us know.
