Last October, when Apple released their new operating system Leopard, Java developer getting upset because it did not shipped with latest Java SE.
They always late, and some people think they won’t support Java anymore. Ohhh… Apple …

But, Today I’ve got a good news for you all Java Developer on OS X platform.

Java SE 6 Developer Preview 8
Java SE 6 Developer Preview 8 is an implementation of Sun’s Java SE 6 for Mac OS X v10.5.1 and later. This Preview includes Java SE 6 version 1.6.0_01. This Developer Preview does not change the default version of Java. This release is only for Mac OS X v10.5.1 and later, and should not be installed on earlier versions of Mac OS X. This release is for 64-bit Intel-based Macs only and cannot run on PowerPC-based or 32-bit Intel-based Macs.

Apple has just released Java SE 6 Developer Preview 8 that includes Java 1.6.0_01 (Dec 18, 2007).
Hmm… yeah.. old version, the latest from Sun is 1.6u3. and it only run on Leopard 10.5.1.
But at least they don’t stop developing their own Java SE and stop making people angry and sell their Apple hardware :D.
