[ajug-members] Fw: Open Source Java 6 Developer Preview Release

[Les Hazlewood]

My hope is that Apple will hurry up or that Sun creates an official Mac OS
release.  I was excited more for day-to-day development activity on my Mac
since I haven't been able to play with JDK 6 features for almost a year with
any regularity.  I always deploy to *nix whenever possible (or Windows if
required), so production is rarely an issue for mission critical apps (at
least for me).
