Well, the Objective-C community for OS X is pretty big.. Don't really know much about the Java one.

Of course all (or almost all) WebObjects users use Java on OS X. But I think most of the other Java work being done on OS X is mainly by people porting stuff over from other platforms or creating apps where cross platform compatibility is the number one goal. I don't think many OS X developers would *choose* Java for an OS X only app since Cocoa is based around Objective-C, and Objective-C is a very nice language to program it..

Dear List

I have a development product for Java which currently runs on various platforms other than Mac OS X. I am considering porting this to Mac OS X, however the effort involved is quite considerable (several man years in fact) and before embarking on such a large project wanted to gain some
understanding of the number of Java developers on the Mac platform. Does anyone have any ideas of how large the Java developer (or for that
matter the Objective C) community is on the Mac ? Any pointers to this information would be greatly appreciated.


TIA

Vince
