It’s fairly common these days to hear about how Java on the Mac is doomed. Sure, I’d like Apple to put more emphasis on Java on OS X but I also know that Apple runs a very tight ship and resources are constrained (see how Leopard was delayed to work being done on the iPhone). Despite all this, the Java team at Apple has managed to provide reasonably good release of Java for OS X. Considering how small the team is, it’s quite an achievement. Charles Miller has summed up the situation quite well so next time someone’s hair catches on fire because supposedly Java is doomed on OS X, just point them to his very well written post.
