good news for Apple java development

Developer – Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When will Apple have an implementation of J2SE 1.4 available?

A: We’re now providing an early version of our 1.4 implementation, the Java 1.4 Developer Preview, to all seeded ADC members. This pre-release has only been qualified against the WWDC Jaguar seed, and has not been qualified against any other seeds/builds. The product development cycle includes plans to seed a prerelease version of the J2SE v1.4.1 to developers. Specific dates for further releases have not been determined and are in part dependent upon Sun’s release schedule.

Looks like Apple is starting to close the gap between it’s java implementation and all the others.
