Apple will contribute most of the key components, tools and technology required for a Java SE 7 implementation on Mac OS X.</p> <p><em>&quot;We're delighted to be working with Oracle to insure that there continues to be a great version of Java on the Mac,&quot; </em>said Bertrand Serlet, Apple's senior vice president of Software Engineering.</p> <p>Apple also confirmed that Java SE 6 will continue to be available from Apple for Mac OS X Snow Leopard&reg; and the upcoming release of Mac OS X Lion. Java SE 7 and future versions of Java for Mac OS X will be available from Oracle.</p> <p>&nbsp;We thus hope that&nbsp;following the negotiations,&nbsp;Apple will reconsider his decision and allow Java applications in the Mac App Store.</p> <p>We, at Qoppa Software, recently tried to submit our application PDF Studio to the new Mac App Store. We were disappointed to find out that Java applications were not allowed.</p> <p>We believe that excluding all Java applications is depriving Mac users in terms of technology, choice and price, as it is excluding a wide range of portable applications that can bring unique technology to the Mac platform and at a lower cost.</p> <p>In the case of our application, <a >PDF Studio</a>, we like to believe that it is the best PDF software on the Mac after Adobe&reg; Acrobat&reg; and it is 4 times cheaper. To our knowledge, other than Acrobat, all native PDF applications available on the Mac are based on the embedded PDF technology that ships with Mac OSX (named Quartz) and they all have the same limitations: no digital signatures, poor support for interactive forms among others. We, as vendors, bring our own proprietary PDF engine, which brings unique value to the Mac platform.</p> &lt;!-- InstanceEndEditable --&gt; Leila Caison http://javageek.org/2010/10/22/good_news_apple_deprecated_java.html#comments http://javageek.org/2010/10/22/good_news_apple_deprecated_java.html#comment1297259289815 Wed, 09 Feb 2011 13:48:09 GMT http://javageek.org/2006/07/06/add_author_icons_to_your_weblog_comments.html#comment1296970967237 <p>Thanks</p> Anonymous http://javageek.org/2006/07/06/add_author_icons_to_your_weblog_comments.html#comments http://javageek.org/2006/07/06/add_author_icons_to_your_weblog_comments.html#comment1296970967237 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 05:42:47 GMT http://javageek.org/2006/01/31/adding_captcha_to_your_pebble_blog.html#comment1296969946826 <p>Thanks</p> Anonymous http://javageek.org/2006/01/31/adding_captcha_to_your_pebble_blog.html#comments http://javageek.org/2006/01/31/adding_captcha_to_your_pebble_blog.html#comment1296969946826 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 05:25:46 GMT
