If they (Apple) would like to fix it, they had fix it time ago.
They have a lot of money and all the developers a company can just dream
The problem is there is not anymore love affair between Apple and Java.
It's finished.
Game over.
Stop.
It was not fixed because it's ok to be in that way... yes.
You know that guy doesn't have middle misure.
Steve thinks Java is dead on the desktop and my opinion is... he is right.
Java is outperformed on the desktop side by C# (windows) and Objective-C (Mac) the others doe$n't count.
On the Web development side Apple is investing on Ruby.
Java is just Enterprise and enterprise is a no-market for Apple.
Apple is going to support any day less and less Java on Mac OS X.
If you really want Java, switch platform (and don't go Windows because the war between MS and Oracle it's just starting),and if you are a Ruby developer the way to go is Mac.
Java is Oracle, and running Java you do a favor to Sun-Oracle.
Apple and Microsoft will become a bit nasty about it.
It's all about surviving in the future. It's not a joke and no, doing what the customers say is not always the right thing to do. In my opinion Steve is right about it.
