Re: Development Platform
Do not hesitate, Mac is great! I use it all the time. They waited a bit too long with bringing Java 6 to Mac, but besides that, it all works great. We also use Mac OS X Server with Tomcat to deploy our software. By the way, you know you have to change your nickname? Something like 'greekmacosx' or 'greekapple' would be fine.

Re: Development Platform
Java on OS X is lagging behind unfortunately. Java 6 is only available for 64bit intel CPUs, but that won't be a problem for you (as long as you don't buy a first gen CoreDuo macbook pro, all intel cpu's are currently 64bit). Apple is very secretive about their future plans, especially so about their Java plans. So be warned. Other than these gripes, I am very happy with my mac book pro (a 32 bit core duo) and would recommend a switch to (the new) MBP fully.

Re: Development Platform
Hi We use Mac's here at our office too, namely the Apple MacBook Pro. As Martijn mentioned apple are a bit slow on the java side, and pretty elusive about information.. We have no problems using mac's. And I never shutdown my mac, always hibernate once every 3 or 4 weeks it crashes(but it's probably me disconnecting devices when it's sleeping) when I open it so it's pretty stable. So the pros: Unix like os Small laptop, but with largescreen usually noiseless eye candy effect (hey even the guys in CSI uses it) cons: expensive java support slow... If you ask me what OS/laptop I would use next.. I'd probably go for ubuntu, just to try it out, possibly on a mac pro. The idea/Eclipse part. I hear that once youve gotten use to idea it should be really fast, because of their very good refactoring support. On the otherhand idea are a commercial license.. For now I use Eclipse 3.4 JEE version. greeklinux wrote: Hello wicket users, I have to bye a new notebook and I am thinking about the new Apple MacBook Pro.

Re: Development Platform
Buying a mac doesn't force you to use macos, I just love their hardware but stick to linux as dev environment. My mac mini has a ubuntu/macos dual boot. If you are going to stick with ubuntu better check if there are any issues with the new macbooks. I've read about thermal and suspend problems with the old macbooks but on my mac mini ubuntu runs smoothly.
