Hi, As it seems that people aware of OpenJDK port to Mac OS X, Soylatte and JKoala seem to discuss in this thread, let me join you, as the leader of JKoala... First, sorry if JKoala web server was down yesterday but there was a massive attack on many servers two days ago at OVH and I had to update it before restarting it. :-( For those who worry about, be sure that my intention is in no case to run JKoala alone, ignoring the projects that already exists and their contributors. Since the launch of JKoala, I've exchanged emails with Landon Fuller, Dalibor Topic and also with Werner Randelshofer, the author of Quaqua an independent Mac OS X Look and feel. I hope they can help with other contributors to achieve our goal.
I launched JKoala because I want a complete implementation of Java under Mac OS X, including AWT / Swing. If Oracle or any other company implement it, it isn't a problem for me, I'll use their implementation. But many Java users seem to be able to live with OpenJDK + Quaqua running an X11 window, or simply no GUI at all. I don't want that to happen and propose my help. I can work full time on this project if I'm paid. I can't work part time on this project because this would be much less efficient, I would have to give up Sweet Home 3D for a very long time, and I feel people implicated in this problem have to understand that open source software has a price too. In a way, it will help us to measure people real interest for Java under Mac OS X. I just hope you understand my point of view. Don't hesitate to ask more questions if needed. -- Emmanuel Puybaret -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
