[thelist] Petition to bring CF ot Mac OS X

[jeff]

zac,

:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: From: zac
:
: Given that the CF Server is moving to Java and
: OS X has system level support for Java2 (and
: Swing if I am not mistaken) then I assume that
: moving CF Server to OSX should not be that much
: of a problem (at least compared to a port of the
: current system).
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

which makes this whole conversation about supporting macs pretty much
pointless.  fwiw, the code name for the project is neo.  it's entirely java
based which means that *any* machine with a jvm (java virtual machine) will
be able to run cf server (neo).  no port necessary.  this is another reason
why i think that allaire should continue on their current development
roadmap and not get sidetracked by shortsighted platform support requests
(cause they'll be a non-issue soon anyway).

:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: And, again IINM, I believe that part of the reason
: to move to a Java base is to increase the portability
: of the code.
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

or rather the goal of being platform agnostic.

thanks,

.jeff
