These are mean as honest questions, I'm not trying to nit-pick here... Why didn't Sun provide a JDK for MacOSX like it (eventually) did for Windows and Linux? Did Apple take the lead because they thought they would provide the best LOF for the graphical parts, because Sun didn't have the extra resources, both or some other reason?
I guess if you prefered netbeans or IntelliJ the Swing issue might be a bigger deal.
