Java 1.6 has completely disappeared from the ADC site, and the Tiger version now seg faults. My apps depend on 1.6. This is a real disaster.
Bad choice to depend on Java 1.6 without knowning that all of your
target platforms have access to it but that is likely water under the
bridge at this point...
Why didn't Apple release 1.6 with Leopard?
Most likely because it isn't stable enought for Apple's quality goals.
Does this mean that I cannot develop any Java app in 1.6 and expect it to work on a Mac?
...and on other platforms that don't yet have Java 1.6 available (IBM
comes to mind).


And don't talk to me about HP-UX. Eurgh.

Key point is here, we are not considering deploying our Java apps on 1.6 until the middle of next year on ANY platform. It astounds me that people build there lives on untested technology. Apple is being slow and not communicating, and that's a real shame, they should at least tell us what their plans are. That said, it's not causing me to sweat yet. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
