>> I'm very happy to let you know that today we made the first public
contribution of code to the OpenJDK project for Mac OS X. This initial
contribution builds on the hard work of the BSD port, and initially has the
same functionality. Today's contribution simply modifies the build process
to create universal binary, and produces a .jdk bundle which is recognized
by Java Preferences and the JVM detection logic in Mac OS X.

of Java for Mac OS X, please join our mailing list, download the source, and
spin a build for yourself.

>> It has been a long road getting to this point collaborating behind the
scenes with Sun and now Oracle, but as of today we are on the road to fully
open development of the Mac OS X port. We look forward to providing more
code from our collaboration soon, and working with you all.
