Maybe I'm missing something. I think the Mac is a great platform for Java development. And JDK 6 is available right now, as a developer preview, from the Apple Developer Connection download site. I use it and haven't seen any issues with it. When I was at the JavaOne conference, I took my laptop, which is a MacBook Pro 15". By my cursory inspection, I think that about 1 out of every 4 laptops there was a Mac. When you talk about presenters -- the people teaching the sessions -- the number went to about 1 in 2. And I think this trend will accelerate, as viruses get more pervasive in the Windows environment and performance gets more dragged down by the virus checkers that Windows must have to even continue running. When you use a Mac, it just works, and it works well.
