First Sun provided it, then they dropped their support. In response to Sun's poor support, even when they attempted it, an independent developer in Italy took on the task and seems to still be the source of the best L&F for the Mac. Sun has recently started supporting MacOS, so there's some competition in providing the L&F. Realize that MacOS 9.x and less provides support for JDK 1.1.8 (Swing 1.1), meaning that you cannot work with JDK 1.2 and greater (i.e., Java 2). You'll have to wait for the public beta of MacOS X (X = ten) for Java 2 on some Macs. Currently, the public beta is scheduled for release at some point during September. Note that when the public beta is released, you'll be able to run JBuilder 3.5 on it. Of course, you'll also need a qualified G3 or G4 to run MacOS X, initially. The best place to find out more info on this is to subscribe to the MRJ-Dev mailing list. To do this, start at: http://developer.apple.com/java Paul Furbacher (TeamB)
