[This is just concerning the EOPalette, nothing else]

Finally, it is very likely the case that Apple hasn't made a conscious effort to remove or destroy support for things like the EOPalette.
Could very well be, yes.

It is far more likely that the sweeping changes required to support Aqua in IB broke the EOPalette in a fashion that would require a fairly monumental effort to fix.
Fairly monumental effort to fix ???
Come on. One competent engineer could fix the palette in a few days, probably less. It's far more likely that Apple either plain doesn't want to or has no staff capable of doing so anymore (yes then of course it would be a monumental effort, so you must mean the second choice).

[What's the deal with the adaptors concerning the palette ? One has nothing to do with the other.]
basic resource issue even if it IS possible], what is the real return on investment for devoting a bunch of resources at fixing the EOPalette? Likely, not nearly as much ROI as devoting those same resources to pushing the Java Client / JavaEO / IB technologies forward-- i.e. not as much as supporting the needs of what very likely is the majority of the developers out there.

The return of investment of providing a functioning EOPalette ? If you buy an amp and the volume dial ain't working, what's the return of investment for your dealer to get it fixed ? Exactly the same (present=none, future=plenty). What's your attitude towards your dealer, when he refuses to fix the amp ? What will you do, when you're on stage, and noone hears anything ?
