The stated license for the project is the same as OpenJDK7, so there would be no difficulties in pulling the JKoala code into OpenJDK down the road if that made sense for everyone. I think having a separate, single-focused effort by a guy who knows how do to what needs to be done is the most im

I am not sure about the JKoala project. I would like to push more for getting Apple to contribute to OpenJDK and donate their Aqua bits as open source, or as a binary plug. In response to 10.7 or 10.8 not coming with Java, I don't want to put my faith in it happening. I would rather start working

Why do people think that Java won't be available under Lion. I fully expect it to come installed. They have marked it as *deprecated* rather than *optional*. Perhaps it might be missing from 10.8 but I doubt it. Sam On Oct 26, 2010, at 10:09 PM, Rob Ross wrote: > See here: > > http://jkoala.

It's my personal goal that it be run well behaved Java client (swing and swk) and server apps (tomcat, jboss, etc, etc) perfectly. In short, any 100% pure java app will run. We must keep in mind that older versions of Eclipse for OSX are hardcoded to use the built in Apple JVM's and ignore the JA

I believe that getting IcedTea to work on an OSX port is a great thing, but... I I think this should be an extended goal that's tackled first for OpenJDK 7 (since it already builds on OSX). I think the milestones toward getting a robust OSX release for OpenJDK 6 should be: 1.) Get a baseline bui
