I think they have a fairly clear transition story. They've changed the directory structure to allow for multiple third-party JVMs to be installed at /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines, and provided a new UI for the user to inspect their VMs by version and vendor and rank them in order of priority. Screenshot in the Apple Insider article here: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/10/21/apple_deprecates_its_release_of_java_for_mac_os_x.html The Apple VM will continue to work in Snow Leopard. It sounds like they're not guaranteeing an Apple VM to be present in Lion, due in Summer 2011, so interested parties have a little less than a year to figure out what to do in case it's absent. --Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
