Re: Java VM specifics on MacOSX

Not me - I think my first post said as much. Just wanted the 'is there /
isn't there' discussion to come to an end. There isn't.

I just want to get some idea of where the Java on Mac plaform is going, and
given that I have not been able to find any references to what is going on I
thought I would try here.

So you are saying that Apple have clearly issued a 'no comment' in the past
and they have nothing else to say on the matter?
