The 6u13 ADC release is a good sign, but I'm not convinced yet that Apple is really (still) committed to Java. How many people were at JavaOne in 2000 (2001?) when Steve Jobs was McNealy's surprise keynote guest and said that Apple was going to make the Mac the premiere platform for Java development? I was there, and they followed through on that promise, for a while. It's been pretty sad the last two years or so. But again, the latest release is encouraging.
