Sorry to have to say this but your claims are inaccurate.  You assume
VirtualBox works and will always work.  You can not make that
assumption.

What if there is a bug or change in VirtualBox?  You may find yourself
in real trouble.

Here is an example.

http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/2372

This was filed two years ago.  One year ago it was not fixed. As of
today, not sure if it's fixed or not but I no longer try to use
VirtualBox on OSX because of the issue.

I want to see a solution.

You are right though.  The problem is I CANT SEE a solution because I
CANT rewrite VirtualBox.

To require developers to rewrite the VM in order to use Java on OSX is
not a reasonable requirement.

Shawn
