Is there any binary release of Java 7 (using the Mac/BSD-port project) anywhere? Some blogs (e.g. Building Java 7 on Mac OS X) have a detailed instructions to build the jdk from source, but I was hoping that someone have a binary of it available for download.
The problem with the instructions is that it's quite annoying to get all the version numbers correct, and slight variations might lead to wasted hours of work.
There is a PPC Mac Binary of Java 7. That's the only build that I'm aware of being publicized.
Dig into comments of this blog post, it's a licensing issue, you might end up building one for yourself, wait for Intel builds from SoyLatte, or official build from Apple.
I have compiled the OpenJDK 7 and made the binaries available at my lame hosting service: http://www.notnoop.com/open-jdk-7 .
Future readers should feel free to contact me regarding any incompatibilities, portability problems, and such.
