OpenJDK for Mac

[Rob Ross]

Yes. That is the goal of OpenJDK, to port it to many different  
platforms. They already have support for Windows, Solaris, and  
various Linux versions. There are some external projects that have  
ported the JDK 6 source code that was under the JRL license to BSD,  
FreeBSD, and other Unix variants.

They will eventually merge the code Landon Fuller contributed from  
SoyLatte to the OpenJDK 6 source code, and then we'll be able to  
start working on the Mac port in earnest.
