Hello.
You can install another copy of Mac OS X to external (preferable
FireWire) disk.
Legally? (I don't have the license agreement in my head, so it's a real
question.)
Or if you need, you can virtualize Mac OS X Server in some
virtualization app. I can afford install dev Java on my computer,
becuase it is only my private machine. I think Apple would agree with
virtualization of common Mac OS X (not only Server). Many developers
will be happy (not even Java folks).
I know all this, but it's just too much work installing a clean copy of
Mac OS X just in order to test each new update from Apple... and it's a
waste of precious disk space (every byte is precious).
I'm not saying it's impossible to test it out without messing up the
main system, but it's clearly too much work.

I think a lot more people would be willing to "take the leap" to a
preview release if there was some kind of rollback/uninstall
mechanism that could restore the previous version of Java.

I second that.
Too often I read on this list about some extra special steps that
need to be taken to get to a normal state again after having
installed a dev preview. I simply can't afford to mess up my main dev
system.
