Re: HOORAY !



"It might be really helpful if someone from Apple could explain why it was necessary to maintain such a wall of silence about it."

The first rule of the wall of silence is don't talk about the wall of silence.  Seriously, then it wouldn't be silent. 

I'm glad to see there is some progress here.  I hope that this is an indication of at least a 32 bit version of Java6 for Leopard, if not Tiger.  My hardware is barely a year old.  It would be a shame if Java 6 didn't work on it. 

I feel like I'm trying to support the troops while badmouthing the president here.  The Apple Java Devs continue to do a great job.  I just wish their management would relalize that I SWITCHED TO MAC FOR JAVA.  Keep up the good work guys.  I would check it out, but no 64 bit hardware for me so...

communication should be improved in the future.  For example, we now
know something is being done about Java 6 on MacOS but we don't know
much past that.  I'd really like to know if a 64bit Intel Mac is going
to be required or if that's just how this first DP had to be.  I won't
be upset either way, any Java 6 is better than no Java 6.  Still I have
this shiny G4 sitting in the office waiting patiently for a reason to
get Leopard and Java 6 is going to be the only reason that will do. :)

Thanks again for the new DP.

Subject: HOORAY !

Thank you everyone at Apple for the re-appearance of the Java 6 preview.
I'm downloading it now, and I'm sure it's going to be wonderful.

Now that it's released is it possible to talk about it ? It might be
really helpful if someone from Apple could explain why it was
necessary to maintain such a wall of silence about it.
Is there a way that the system could be improved to stop such a
catastrophic breakdown in communication happening again ?

thanks again,
Josh
