What’s New in Java 1.4.1 in Mac OS X?

The Java 1.4.1 release includes a complete reworking of how Java is implemented for Mac OS X. This release is more than just an update from the Java 1.3.1 classes to the Java 1.4.1 classes. It is more integrated with both the Java Software Development Kit and the core operating system than the Java 1.3.1 implementation. Apple has been able to bring Java 1.4.1 to Mac OS X using about two-thirds less native classes than the 1.3.1 implementation required. With less platform-specific code to maintain, Apple is in a position to more quickly and decisively respond to Java bugs and to provide a cleaner and more integrated Java experience on Mac OS X for you as a developer.
