David,

I noticed this on our dashboards, and was also going to follow up with
the list, but ya beat me to it!  :)  I haven't tried it yet, but it
seems there is a nicer solution that what you propose, which I found here:

<https://trac.macports.org/ticket/26934>

That is, install the "Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 3 Developer
Package." from here:
<https://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/wa/
getSoftware?bundleID=20719>
