That's what the Sun folks told me last year at Java One 2001. They also thought it might be ready by the fall (2001), or the end of the year. We are waiting anxiously for this, since we write educational software for schools, and schools are asking for Mac-compatible software. Has anything happened since then, and what is the likelihood that it ever will happen?
