I believe the installer packages bundle a JRE (which runs in isolation from your other Java installations) so that shouldn't be a problem.
Only the cross-platform archive assumes you have a Java (6+) installed. Off the top of my head I can't remember if backporting to 5 would be a possibility but considering that Java 5 is almost ten years old, it may be too much effort to be worth it.
The source code isn't public anymore than my dirty underwear is :) Seriously though, I might open source it if I thought anyone would be able to get anything out of it.
There's a dropdown ('Select download') with four options, one of which says 'Mac OSX Installer'. Can you explain what makes it unclear? Thanks in advance!
Yes, it is still being actively developed, at a slowish rate depending on how many other projects are going on at the same time. We release a new build around every two-three weeks, with minor enhancements and bug fixes.
Releasing the source is no big deal, but I would have to spend some time wrapping it up nicely to make it accessible to outsiders.
