I for one don't want them to think I'm not grateful for their work.
But at the same time, they are the Java communities internal
ambassadors to the insides of Apple, and I don't want them to think
for a second that we're not irritated by the general lack of priority
that we've been given after we all handed over our credit cards and
jumped on the Apple boat, helping to catapult their stock price to all-
time highs, and then the company just turns around and throws us all
into the wind.
I don't think that point should be lost on them.

I just wanted to point out something.
Since we're all developers here, I'm pretty sure we all understand
the uncomfortable position the Apple Java developers are placed in
regarding postings on this particular topic. I have no doubt the
Apple Java developers are committed to developing a kick-ass
implementation of Java for the Apple platform. They're probably just
as frustrated as we are by the corporate policies they have to live
by.
Even though I think we all share this sentiment, I wanted to
explicitly state this and thank them for their work.
I have a feeling there's a lot in common between the Apple Java
developers, and the developers in Microsoft's Macintosh Business
Unit. They both do some great work, and are under-appreciated by
the general Mac community.
