Yeah, it’s cool that some brilliant bastard outside the halls of Sun Microsystems and Apple Inc. was able to do this. A perfect advertisement for the power of open source in my view. Also, I use that “X11″ thing on linux too, so it does not bother me. I also use X on my macbook pro for Gimp and Pan.
This is the point exaclty, It shows that Java doesn’t need anymore Sun Microsystems or Apple or any other propetary company. Awesome job Landon Congratulations!!, This is the power of Open Source. It is amazing without resources just one guy could do this job, Apple after one year with lots of resources and a team could not delivered Java6 on Leopard, What a shame for Apple.

Well … except for it launch that “X” thing to show the Swing app, what did Java 6 get you that Java 5 didn’t? SwingSet looked the same to me.
Or is the cool thing simply that the non-Apple Java implementation just worked?
