There is an interesting joint statement about the future of Java on MacOS X:

Oracle and Apple today announced the OpenJDK project for Mac OS X. Apple will contribute most of the key components, tools and technology required for a Java SE 7 implementation on Mac OS X, including a 32-bit and 64-bit HotSpot-based Java virtual machine, class libraries, a networking stack and the foundation for a new graphical client. OpenJDK will make Apple’s Java technology available to open source developers so they can access and contribute to the effort.

i hope legato networker Console will work like now. Users who know the issues with Hitachi Stuff like HDS Storage Manager will understand concerns.

A native JDK is essential for me especially on Mac. Sometimes you get funny results with "professional" Software.

I just want to point out that the latest apple machines coming with the latest OSX bring serious issues to those who in the past tried to integrate a swing app into aqua using Apple UI. Apps defaulting to the aqua UI just don't work anymore, forcing you to change your code and default to a windows like look and feel.
Looks like they just took it off of the latest jdk...

It's awful to see your swing app behave like a windows application, when in the past it was integrating into the osx look and feel like a charm with little hassle.

I really hope the new OSX OpenJdk will bring it back...
