Hi,
Thanks for that CM. I must admit I did search for Java 6 on the link
you gave but didn't find much info. Certainly nothing that gave me any
hope that it would be in Leopard. I'm new to the mac scene, always
worked on linux and to a less extent windows. I'll be getting my iMac
in the next couple of weeks to I await with interest to see what Java
is on it.
As I'm a fully time Java contractor apart from the link you gave is
there any other places that are worth me investigating ?
Thanks Again
Steve
