Almost positive about the Java thing.
As for Rhapsody, they couldn't have, at least, made developers feel
any worse than they already had. I remember getting ADC release after
ADC release clearly stating you'd need to rewrite your entire app for
the new Copland APIs. No such Carbon luck. Oh yeah, and they should
be rewriting anyways as they needed OpenDoc parts, not apps.
I'll bet more than one developer wanted to make-out with Steve Jobs
after he came on board and then Carbon appeared, along with
Rhapsody/MacOS X.
Actually, as a point of pedantic irrelevancy.
The Operating system was known as (codename) Rhapsody during the time
where the thought was that all applications that were to run native
(i.e. not in the "blue box" or classic environment) had to be rewritten
to the "Yellow Box" APIs (nee. Cocoa).
The Carbon strategy was announced during the same keynote (WWDC 1998)
in which the OS was announced as Mac OS X.
So... if you really want to be horribly picky. Carbon and Rhapsody
never co-existed (outside of Apple). But even when they DID
co-exist... the technology wasn't called Carbon :-)
