With Mac OS X I also have no access to the source code of the JDK.
Which makes me wonder again how to do serious Java development with
Mac OS X. I know a few of you guys are using Mac OS X. How do you do it?
Er... without any problem, and I nothing would make me swith back to
Windoze :-)
Whenever I start this I get annoyed very fast. The missing Java
sources are only the tip of the iceberg.
What missing Java sources? They are in
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/src.jar
Every tree representation in Eclipse just sucks.
What sucks? The missing vertical lines? It means a bit more indentation,
but less visual clutter. And my Mighty Mouse's scroll ball does magic to
navigate in all directions :-)
Keyboard navigation in Mac OS X is completely inconsistent, especially
with Java programs.
Uh? What is "consistency" besides the usual cut/copy/paste? Note that I
don't use anything else than a Mac, so maybe I'm just used to the Mac's
own consistency :-)
There seems to be no serious SVN command line client (or at least the
CollabNet download page is just self-linking at the moment:
http://downloads.open.collab.net/binaries.html).
Install macports and just run "sudo port install subversion"
And so on ... Windows has also bunch of annoying issues but there is
at least consistency and usually there is a solution for everything.
Do you guys all switch to Linux when it comes to Java development? :)
Naaaah. I'm very happy with my Mac :-)
