No JDK 6 on Macs

I was choosing a new laptop recently and for a while I was thinking about getting a Mac. But I am very dissapointed that there is no JDK 6 on Mac and noone knows what the roadmap is - when JDK 6 is going to be available on Macs. So I am definitely not getting myself a Mac... I've seen more and more Macs at Java conferences recently, but it seems that the trend might not continue since Apple doesn't provide the latest JDK. Java is according to TIOBE statistics the most popular programming language of today. Let's see how patient Java developers actually are.

GPL matters!

Check out the dual license of NetBeans 6. I just had a discussion recently with two guys working for a Linux vendor and we agreed that NetBeans 6 uses the most Linux-friendly license (GPL - in our case it's actually GPL v2 with classpath exception), which means NetBeans should be on a way to become the Java IDE of choice in Linux distros - the other popular Java IDEs don't use GPL or they use commercial licenses. I hope all Linux vendors will notice this little difference :)
