It is apparent that, in the Macintosh world, the Java version in which an application is implemented affects the size of the potential market for the application. I'm looking for sources of data (preferably published, but I'll take rumors and gut feelings) that would help me quantify this fact.
For example, it seems that implementing in Java 1.4 would result in a potential market that includes users of OS X 10.2 and greater, while implementing in Java 1.6 would result in a very small market right now.
I would appreciate any information that would suggest how many Mac users might still be using earlier versions of OS X. I'd also like to find information on the PPC/Intel ratio of Mac users, because we have an application that might be of special interest to users who still run Classic applications.
On the more technical side, are there any significant "gotchas" that developers should watch for when deploying Java 1.4 code on 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5?
Thanks.
