There are a few Java development tools that are available only for Windows
or
Linux that I wish to port over for use in Mac OS X. Is this possible, and
if
so where would I find the steps/tools necessary?
Which tools? It appears from discussions on the java-dev list that
most Java development tools that are written in Java work reasonably
well on Mac OS X without any extra porting. If you're looking at
specific tools, I'd suggest asking on that list instead of here,
since someone's probably already posted instructions to java-dev for
getting the tools to run on Mac OS X.
In particular I'm discussing the Java Wireless Toolkit, which although it is a
Java development tool, it is not written in Java. The toolkit includes various
wireless device emulators, etc. that are written to run in Windows, Linux and
Solaris, but not Mac OS X. There are several other Java development tools not
written in Java that I would also eventually port over.
