All in all, I think the community taking on the responsibility of the JVM is the right approach. Sun has open-sourced Java so, why do we continue to expect Apple to maintain a proprietary effort on it?

I'm not all that familiar with Cocoa development but I'm willing to see if there's anything I can do to help. Why? 'Cause I'm a programmer. This is the stuff that I like to do.

Sounds good to me -- I'd love to collaborate with other community members =)


My next steps for OpenJDK on the Mac are straight-forward:
- With the FreeBSD/Java project, get the baseline port accepted as an official OpenJDK Porting Project (In Progress)
- Further Mac OS X native integration -- AWT toolkit, x509, sound, etc.


There's plenty of room for anyone to pick an integration point and jump in. My last status report covers the initial AWT work, and is available here:

If you're familiar with OpenGL on the Mac, the next major AWT hurdle is wiring up the OpenGL Java2d pipeline.

Cheers,
