Re: Development Platform
Do not hesitate, Mac is great! I use it all the time. They waited a bit too long with bringing Java 6 to Mac, but besides that, it all works great. We also use Mac OS X Server with Tomcat to deploy our software. By the way, you know you have to change your nickname? Something like 'greekmacosx' or 'greekapple' would be fine.

Re: Development Platform
Java on OS X is lagging behind unfortunately. Java 6 is only available for 64bit intel CPUs, but that won't be a problem for you (as long as you don't buy a first gen CoreDuo macbook pro, all intel cpu's are currently 64bit). Apple is very secretive about their future plans, especially so about their Java plans. So be warned. Other than these gripes, I am very happy with my mac book pro (a 32 bit core duo) and would recommend a switch to (the new) MBP fully.

Hello wicket users, I have to bye a new notebook and I am thinking about the new Apple MacBook Pro. I am using Ubuntu for my development, Java/Wicket with maven, Eclipse/Idea, Tomcat. Are here any Mac OS X users and developers with pros and cons? I want to know if Mac OS X will be a good dev platform, because I am new to it.
