I agree dual-boot is a pain.
I use the computer (MacBook Pro) for so much of my life - work and non-work
- that having it booted somewhere else that I can't immediately get to
everything else is not an option.
I have VMWare and run Linux there sometimes to test PTP or grab
screenshots.
But I find myself doing more and more in OS X instead.
I also agree that surely something will work out: either Oracle doing the
OS X JVM or some of the other options.
Or maybe it will be time to investigate another 'life' - on another OS.
That's why i switched from Windows to a Mac,
mostly just wanting to learn something new. A fulltime life on Linux might
be next. But I sure do like it here on the Mac.
I do agree with some of the articles posted that at developer conferences
you see more and more Macs.
It's really hard to believe that Apple would abandon all those loyal
developers. Oh well.
Does anyone see a thread on the general Eclipse forums about this? I have
looked and can't find anything.

Thanks ... I'll give it a try.

I don't recommend dual-boot. It's a hassle. Buy enough RAM and
use virtualization (e.g. virtualbox is free). If you have enough RAM it
is
almost (~95%) as fast and you don't need to reboot. I do most my work
inside
a virtual machine.

P.S., I'm sure some of you have dual-booted Linux on a MacBook Pro.
Anything problematic?

This seems to be the most hopeful thing to think at this point. Some
see
it as an advantage, given the habitual release lag time for the Apple
JVMs.
It would make a certain amount of sense that Apple turn over is JVM
code to
Oracle.
As to the reason for all this, the security holes are indeed
problematic,
but I'm afraid Dieter is right in pointing out that it doesn't seem to
stop
with the JVM ... banning all non-conforming apps is clearly and
anti-competitive move.
So, it's hope for the best but start thinking about the Linux box I
may
have to develop on in the near future (you'll never get me on a Windows
machine again).

I think an interesting point is that no other platform does it's
own
jvm. Sun/Oracle provide the Linux/windows versions, so it seems likely
they'll also provide a Lion version.

Does this really come as a surprise? I remember Jobs trashing
Java

the big ball and chain, being a huge topic of discussion at
Eclipsecon2007. When OSX 10.0 was released Apple was on the

irrelevance and happy to broaden their platform with Java.
Today,
their walled garden might kick out Java in 10.7 and depending on
the
success of their OSX appstore, all non-conform apps and
development
tools in 10.8. Brave new world!
