Java 6 on OSX?!

I haven’t been using OSX for long, only since the beginning of this year, but i very much liked it from the first moment (well, to be honest not from very first moment; it took a day to get used to it). It seemed to be the ideal Java development platform, but slowly it became clear that we would have to wait a while for Java 6. So we waited patiently for Leopard, but Apple let us down again.

What’s most frustrating about the whole situation, is that Apple doesn’t communicate at all about its plans with Java. In an attempt to make Apple stop ignoring the Java developer community, this blog started an action to make our voice heard. Of course, we support the 13949712720901ForOSX effort too. All we ask is that Apple is more open about a timeline for Java 6 support, or a statement that this will not happen at all (which would probably fuel initiatives to create a port of Java 6 by some other means).
