The Apple Java list has had some complaints recently that Sun don't care
about Apple users and that Apple can't supply the time to support Java
users.
Apple are doing a great job, but JAI, J3D, J2ME, J2EE, Jblahblah and all
the other Sun released APIs which have native parts (J2EE deployer does I
think) are not available yet. Sun's basic response is to talk to Apple,
Apple's is: We'll get around to it, it's a lot to do.
Sun are taking most of the flak it seems.
I wonder what a survey of Jakarta developers coding environments would
show. If Sun were to discover that 40% of Jakarta committers prefer OS X,
would that change their opinion etc?
Or is it a, "Yeah, but we care more about the majority of users, ie)
newbies. "
I can see a good reason for not supporting J2EE well on a Mac. Until Apple
release a 1U OS X server there's not much point, but the rest are a shame.
