From the release notes of the latest update to Java for Mac:
“As of the release of Java for Max OS X 10.6 Update 3, the version of Java that is ported by Apple, and that ships with Max OS X, is deprecated. The Java runtime shipping in Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, will continue to be supported and maintained through the standard support cycles of those products.”
What does this mean for the future of Jaikoz on Mac?
Apples intentions are not quite clear at this stage, but please be assured Java will still be available on future versions of a Mac OS X.
It actually makes sense that Oracle will pick up the Java for Mac port. They are managing the ports of all the other OS’s, why should Apple put resources on developping the port themselves? I personally think it’s a decision from Apple that makes sense (the decisions on the other “Lion” changes I am not so happy with, but that’s not for here to discuss).
