Yes! I hope that someday there will be a business case for Macromedia to support OS X versions of CFMX and JRun. They'd be a cinch to install as the requisite JRE is already present in well-documented locations (so Macromedia would not need to include/install or do anything special to interface it). In, addition the "extras" that are part of the Java SDK are there too -- so the developer does not need to go to any additional effort to use these "extras" in conjunction with CFMX or JRun. As an example, I recently downloaded ViennaSQL (A GUI SQL Client). I didn't need to do anything special to run it -- just double-click the jar file on the desktop -- no CLI, no classpath, no nuthin'. Applet Launcher Mac OS X includes Applet Launcher to let you run Java Applets � whether they�re located on your hard disk or on the Internet � without opening a web browser. Built-in Java is one reason OS X is called a "Modern OS".
