Why isn't the Mac platform important enough for Oracle to care?

Seems to me that maybe it's big enough that Mac should be supported by Oracle. That would be a bit more ideal, get updates when all the platforms get updates.

Ugh, you just reminded me of the Java updater on windows machines. I hope that if Oracle does care, they at least care enough to get it right. And that Apple lets them still hook into Software Update.

Even if Oracle supported Macs. Apple made it clear they won't allow Java Apps in the Mac App Store.

So what? The Mac App Store doesn't erase the fact that I can go to http://www.eclipse.org and get eclipse.

But I suppose you won't be able to run it on iOSXI
