The comment on the change is:
add JDK6 on OS X note

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
   1. `ant` (optional: `ant test`)
  
- ''Note: JDK 1.6 is required.  If you get an error like "class file has wrong version 50.0, should be 49.0" then ant is using 1.5 instead.''
+ ''Note: JDK 1.6 is required.  If you get an error like "class file has wrong version 50.0, should be 49.0" then ant is using 1.5 instead.  This seems to be a particular pain point for people on OS X. If you've kept up with Apple's updates, Java 6 should already be installed (it comes in Mac OS X 10.5 Update 1). Unfortunately, Apple does not default to using it. What you have to do is change your `JAVA_HOME` environment setting to `/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6` and add `/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/bin` to the beginning of your `PATH`.''
