They could just as easily deploy their apps to solaris, which has a supported JVM. For development all they (and we) need on OSX is a current JVM for development and one that works with eclipse (they don't both need to be the same JVM). Well, that's all we need except perhaps if you are using swing or D2JC. I think the take away message from this change is that Apple are done caring about client side java, it's off their radar. They are adopting the Microsoft model of letting java be a third party provided tool instead of part of the base OS. I think the only thing to be concerned about at this point is what Oracle plans to do given that they haven't yet provided a statement to confirm they will start shipping a mac version of the JDK. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
