Notes 8.5 on Mac OS 10.4.x Tiger

The 8.0.1 release notes (http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/notesmacforum.nsf/Customer/424f9fb98870e5ec852573d400716420?OpenDocument) say that “Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger will not be supported”.

Are there no other solutions or workarounds?

Does anybody knows the background for this limitation? What’s the differences between the java implementation in Tiger & Leopard?

I have found similar questions in the notes/domino 8 forum:

Subject: Need Leopard to support Eclipse

Changes have been made to the Mac OS to support the Eclipse framework that the Notes client is built upon. For this reason, Leopard is needed to run Notes 8.5.

Sorry, none known to me.

The current Notes beta links to a Leopard only binary. You may watch that error on your Tiger console.

The Java implementations are no different.
