And certainly, I would expect Solaris to be the first-tier development platform for Java on the server side inside Sun. I was actually meaning Swing client applications (I should have been more specific). I see a lot of Swing "thought leaders" at Sun choosing to use Mac OS X, rather than Windows.</p> Aaron, yes, the majority of Java software on servers may be running on Unix or Linux.

However, I would guess that the developers were on a *nix based system for either of two reasons: security or because the majority (I assume) of Java Applications are running on *nix/Sun servers. I agree with you though, but think it should have been using the core platform. Just my two cents, but great blog. Interesting points.

Well at least they're not too dumb then - even if they are using Macs they have access to test Windows code in a VM or dual boot.

You would think the powers that be at SUn would prod apple along to updating Java on their favorite platform Equally annoying was the recent OSX Quicktime 7.2 update killing microsoft office 2004 apps on the mac if you had Java 1.6 installed. Those apple guys possibly were developing on Windows!
