I understand that most people don't need JDK 6. The point is still the attitude from Apple: not only they didn't release Java 6, but didn't publish a plan about it. People are just _assuming_ that it will be released with Leopard (which has been delayed). This is really annoying as professionals need to plan.
At the moment I still think that Mac OS X is the best platform for developing with Java since it's extremely productive. But - granted - Linux is filling the gap and the scenario could be different in one-two years from now. As Chris Adamson is pointing out in his editorial, MacBooks are the most seen gear in conferences, and Apple could be more friendly with Java developers. |
