There really shouldn't be any effort in porting to OSX with 1.4; I wrote a program that does a fair amount of file, image manipulation, and UI stuff for Java 1.4.1, under Win2K. Last night we tested it under OSX and promptly discovered that 1.3 isn't sufficient so we tested with 1.4 Preview 8. Ran great, excluding non-Aqua look-and-feel issues.David A.

I found out about JPluckerOSX through feedback from a Mac OS X user who had trouble launching JPluck. The problem with Mac OS X right now is that you can't talk about the JDK 1.4.1 Developer Preview in detail publically because the Apple developer license effectively constitutes a non-disclosure agreement. (You can talk about the final release, though, once it's out.) I don't have a Mac so I can't really be of good help to OS X users. I'm glad that someone else picked up the task to make it run on OS X. Also, this project is only a couple of days old and, considering it's the holiday season, the developer may not have had the time to contact me. Anyway, JPluck is GPLed so if it's repackaged under the GPL I don't mind. Seemingly the only difference is that JPluckerOSX enables the Aqua look-and-feel, which isn't very hard to do (should be only 1 line of code, excluding exception handling) and that it runs as an application. Anyway, it's not really my concern, I'll continue refactoring and making API changes where I feel it's necessary. I do intend to open a CVS repository in the future, but only after JPluck 1.0. The code is somewhat of a mess in places with a little too many quick-and-dirty hacks. I want to clean it up to make it clearer and more maintainable for others first.
