Guys as I said before it is not a java problem on OSX as the OSx versions are stable and thats why it took a while for Apple to release their versions of the latest releases such as for the OS X 10.5.8 version :
java version "1.5.0_26"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_26-b03-376-9M3263)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_26-156, mixed mode, sharing)
For the latest 10.6.6 Release :
java -version
java version "1.6.0_22"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04-307-10M3261)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.1-b03-307, mixed mode)
Jdownloader works perfectly on these systems (I run three systems of each with no problem) with the exceptions of occasional host plugins or host decryptor's failing when the hosts make a stupid change.
Now there may be a problem with the newer intel Xeon "Nehalem" processors having a conflict, the jurry is still out on this but several different reports are at Apple forums for a couple of various apps that everyone is still waiting for an appropriate answer on.
As for the PPC, unfortunately you are pretty much stuck either with an older version of JD or trying to experiment with the 1.6.x updates or the 1.7 update both from Oracle. For those I don't remember seeing many if any proper build instructions for PPC from anyone so one has to experiment with the 1.6.x version and as for the 1.7 version it is still in beta as far as the Mac is concerned (both intel and ppc) to my knowledge at this time.
See

Etc.
For the moment I would imagine any build of 1.7 for PPC not to mention intel will be further down the road after they get a fully stable version to begin with.
