It’s in my doc. But I’m scared to try it. Pretty though, very pretty.

Who says being an PITA doesn’t get results? Well after getting an earful from the java community, Apple has finally released a new version of Java 1.6 for the mac. Now all naysayers that said java is dead on the mac can STFU. Oh wait, was I one of those people? 
Anyway, you must be an ADC member to get it from here. This is great news but I really hope this does not stop the development of SoyLatte , the BSD port of Java 6 to Tiger and Leopard (now in it’s 1.0 release). From the SoyLatte webpage they state their admiral goals as :
- Support for Java 6 Development on Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5
- OpenJDK support for Java 7 on Mac OS X
- On-time release of Java 7 for Mac OS X
This whole java/apple debacle really shows why we need the OpenJDK to succeed.
