Hi Marcus,
(Cc: mac porting team)
I think we don't need wJRE packages for MacOSX.
What do you think?
Where Windows and Linux often don't come with Java installed per
default providing wJRE does make sense where Mac OS X afaik already
has Java installed when install it or get it pre-installed on a new
mac, so all the wizards other OOo parts needing Java are already
executable.
Java for Mac OS X is provided by Apple and comes via Software
Update or if you want a more recent version, tagged as beta or rc,
via download from the apple connect developer resources. I've never
seen an installer for the Mac on <http://www.java.com/de/> instead
this page tells me that Apple provides Java so I am were I started.
In addition if we provide wJRE packages for the Mac it would
confuse Mac users and to be honest I don't know if I want to test
the installation of a wJRE package and maybe do harm to my Java
that is already installed and for my needings running just fine.
To add to what Eric has said, Apple do not provide a re-distribution
agreement, thus it wouldn't be the Apple JREs that would be provided.
Are Sun making Java for the Mac now. Has it been open sourced on the
mac too, and ooo is building it from source?
