my company deploys a non-trivial Java Swing application on Mac,
Windows, and Linux. i develop on Mac, and i don't even have to test
on Windows and Linux because experience has told me i know it's going
to work. the JDK is subject to the JCK, which ensures that anything
claiming to be Java has to pass a stringent test before it's allowed
to claim that it's JDK compliant.
suggesting that Perl or C is in any way platform independent is pure bollocks.
do you have any actual experience to back up your claim? i suspect not.
Don't you know the statement "Java, Compile once, Debug everywhere..." ?
The only reason you need java for mac is for old applets or to
support the college community.
No person (no sane person) is going to develop a complete program in java.
If you want full platform independency then you should write your
programs in perl or C...
