[Qt-interest] recent Mac OS X Java 6 Update - Warning - !

[Christopher Jerome]

Who said you were "afraid" I was just letting people know. Anyway, I did not know what was perceived as being happening until I opened my RSS feeds. I don't think Java on OS X, or any other platform is going anywhere. To be honest, Im starting to DISLIKE Apple and their strange antics quite a bit as of late, Anyway Im used to Linux as well, so they loose a customer!! Once bitten, Twice shy. :)

No they are not gone, they are now included with a new corresponding Docs and Dev tools package for the new java version (which includes the "missing" header files), which you have to download from Apple's Dev Connection. I found this out this morning, Devs thought that Java has been DEPRECATED on OS X, when they updated Java via software update. You just need to log on to connect.apple.com, and click on "whats new" and download the corresponding Developer package for your OS X version.
