It seems that many of the laments of java on the mac have come from
folks who have done their java development elsewhere, and are then
trying to bring their code to the mac. I'm curious as to how
developers have fared going the other direction. Starting on a mac,
and then targeting java on windows, linux, solaris, whatever. Is
that easier or more successful?

Sorry, I have come late to this discussion but I do want to report
that the very sane folks at NOAA's (National Oceanic and

are developing a Tsunami forecast system (SIFT) for the US tsunami
warning centers that is completely written in Java. The majority of
the developers (me included) use Macs as their development platform
but our customers us Solaris, Linux, and Windows. I used to think
of Mac as a second class Java citizen with Window's JVMs the gold
standard but after Apple went Intel, I have fewer problems on Mac
OS X than Windows.

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...
