I won't be surprised if Oracle steps in to produce a JVM for all platforms. That's more or less what Apple is forcing them to do ? I'm no Mac user, but I don't think Oracle can just ignore Java not being shipped any more for Mac. I wouldn't be surprised they'll soon send out reassuring communications that they will.
And in the meantime, everybody still has JDK6. It's not until JDK7 ships that there will be a gap. Son there's some room for patience. :-) On Thu, Oct 21, 2010 at 09:06, Michael Neale <[email protected]>wrote: > > http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#releasenotes/Java/JavaSnowLeopardUpdate3LeopardUpdate8RN/NewandNoteworthy/NewandNoteworthy.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010380-CH4-DontLinkElementID_2 > > OK so what does this mean: > > "As of the release of Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 3, the version of > Java that is ported by Apple, and that ships with Mac OS X, is > deprecated. > > This means that the Apple-produced runtime will not be maintained at > the same level, and may be removed from future versions of Mac OS X. > The Java runtime shipping in Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and Mac OS X > 10.5 Leopard, will continue to be supported and maintained through the > standard support cycles of those products." > > On Oct 21, 6:03 pm, Reinier Zwitserloot <[email protected]> wrote: > > Can we stop with the #%)(#%)@#(%...@#$* hyperbole? > > > > The Mac App store is an extra.
