% java -version

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.4-b02-402, mixed mode)

On OSX Lion, the latest JDK appears to be located here:

/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/

A little googling turned up this post: http://blog.y3xz.com/post/5037243230/installing-jpype-on-mac-os-x

I followed those instructions to modify setup.py, then ran sudo python setup.py install with no problems.

Does that help?
