We have been waiting for this exactly how long? Now they will make it 10.4 only, leaving all 10.3 with the extremely inferior "old Java".

It looks like Apple trying to force people to buy 10.4 to me.

Major thumbs down!

Apple is, in fact responsible for the jre and jdk for Mac. And, yes, they seem to be handling it very poorly. It's a shame, too, as Java is a much more capable development environment than most Mac only users realize.

nope-that was just a patch to fix the way 10.3.9 screwed up Java-it is the same old Java, though, not the new one.
