Wow, but you forget to mention Gildas (could you edit the article ?)

Well, we could do better, I'd like to sort out the JAVA_HOME /
/usr/bin/java issue.
I posted on Apple java-dev list and hope we get responses there.

I feel it's an interim version, until Apple provide its own OpenJDK VM
and back ports its Cocoa works.

BTW, we'll be very happy to see more people join the OpenJDK OS/X,
first on bsd-port and also on
http://code.google.com/p/openjdk-osx-build/ where all scriptings for
continuous build is stored.
