I have to second this question, is there any specific reason to drop
support for building OpenJDK 7 and 8 on Mac OS X 10.6.x? Is there anything
the community can do to help continue ongoing support for 10.6.x as an
OpenJDK development platform? I know my personal development machine will
likely be on 10.6.x for the foreseeable future, so if I can help keep it
supported I'd like to.
Thanks,
Dave
