Exactly. Java developers still have the 98% of computers that aren't old Macs as a customer base. They probably don't care that 2% of the market is unavailable, and in the odd case that they do care, they'll just have to target Java 1.5, not 1.6. Not exactly onerous, particularly as the situation is only going to improve going forwards as the last PPC Macs hit EOL. As for Java developers wanting to develop on the Mac, well, I don't know any Mac developers still using PPC Macs as their principle machine. Actually, I don't know any developer, period, using a computer that is older than about 2-3 years as their principle machine.
