Pure Java (Aka. Swing) apps on the desktop is a different thing entirely.
- cubicle67 15y agoSorry, I was unclear. I was referring to Java on the desktop for any OS, and the decisions I was talking about relate to Java almost 10 years ago. If Sun had of done things differently in the late 90's, Java may have been a valid desktop language, but by early 00's it was already a moot point, Apple or no Apple Some things were later fixed, but by then it was too late
- glhaynes 15y agoThe thing is, nearly nobody used Cocoa from Java. And when they did, it usually sucked.
