That is, after delivering the necessary technological items, Apple’s legal participation in the OpenJDK project would cease and the Open Source Community from then would take it forward.
After this being done, the rest of the work would not require Apple’s hand. The technological items include 32- and 64-bit Java virtual machines, a networking stack, class libraries, and the guts of a new graphical client. Apple needs to ensure that it supplies most of the technology that was earlier developed for the Java runtime presently being used in Mac OS X. Most of this new development’s pressure however needs to be handled by Apple, at least during the initial stages.
#ORACLE JAVA MAC OS X MAC OS X#
The Java developer community can rest assured that the leading edge Java environment will continue to be available on Mac OS X in the future.”
With the showcase of excitement to be partnering with Apple in developing the new OpenJDK project, Oracle senior VP of development Hasan Rizvi, in a statement said “The availability of Java on Mac OS X plays a key role in the cross-platform promise of the Java platform. Temporarily (before its new project gets under way), Apple has ensured that the current Java SE 6 will continue to be available for both Mac OS X 10.6 “ Snow Leopard” and the upcoming Mac OS X 10.7 “ Lion,” due in mid-2011. It comes as quite a surprise for technologists to learn that Apple will be contributing towards the development of an Open Source Java for its Mac systems.
#ORACLE JAVA MAC OS X FOR MAC OS X#
Behold the announcement wherein, Apple will be tying up with Oracle to launch a new OpenJDK project for Mac OS X that will make a Java SE 7 implementation available for Mac OS X as an open source project. Well, Apple’s latest development is set to chase away the hovering ‘depressed and uncertain cloud’ from around the Java community. It was almost as though Apple was warning developers of the fact that Java would henceforth not be entailed in future versions of the Mac OS X and by this there hovered a depressed and uncertain cloud over Java’s future associations with Apple’s Mac. Mon, 3-min read Apple, along with Oracle to launch Java SE 7 for Mac OS XĪll Apple fans, followers and especially its close Java community associates would have definitely been disturbed and shocked by Apple’s recent announcement that it would deprecate and denounce the including of the Java runtime in its Mac OS X.
