I do hope you are right. But I don't see what the financial advantage is for Oracle to pay for a new JDK port. How do they make more money by having a JDK on Apple machines? What is the mysterious Step #2 in this story? 1. Oracle funds a Mac OS port 2. ?? 3. Profit > > 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. :-) Well, according to the deprecation notice, the next Mac OS version , 10.7 Lion, could ship without Java. And that's targeted to ship summer of 2011, around the same time as JDK7. Even if Oracle commits to a port, I doubt they have the resources (people-wise) to deliver a Mac version in this timeframe.
