Java 6SE for Leopard — finally!

First, visit Apple’s Java Developer Site — have a read — there’s a new developer preview out for Java SE6, and it runs on Leopard! But wait (there’s always a ‘but’ where the words ‘Apple’ and ‘Java’ appear together) — it only runs on 64-​bit Intel-​based macs.

Apple, seriously — WTF? Get your act together, this is already incredibly embarrassing for you…

Oh yes, I can only begin to imag­ine the embar­rass­ment apple must be expe­ri­enc­ing right now. Imag­ine all those red faces walk­ing around the apple cam­pus, “whoops” they would say, “we for­got about the 32 bit intel macs”. Hows Steve ever going to for­give them?

:D

OK, so ‘embarass­ing’ might be a lit­tle strong, but my pov Core 1 Duo Mac­Book Pro wants in on the Java 6 love :P

My Quad G5 also wants some Java 6 love! I sup­pose I’ve got even less chance of that than you have of get­ting 32-​bit intel support :-(
