So, Tom, isn't this statement a bit like that Dilbert cartoon from 1995 
where HR is suggesting that for the job description they're trying to 
fill, that a requirement is 10 years of Java experience.  Back in 1995 
nobody had 10 years Java experience.  And today nobody can do OpenJDK 
"Platform Development" on Mac OS X.. because of the problems you mentioned.

But clearly there are people who want to do OpenJDK platform development 
while using Mac OS X.
