Core for Mac OS X was/is working with versions prior to Jaguar.
Something small (I hope) broke with the 10.2 release of OS X. RT is
aware of
this and is looking at the issue but no word on when a fix will be
available yet.
Some work was also done on View on OS X (betas I think) - enough for RT
to
say they had some issues, including performance, that needed to be
addressed
before it was an acceptable port.

I'm not a Java programmer but the little bit of poking around with it
on OS X
I've done supports that assumption. I'm using ArgoUML and jEdit with no
issues and the Java integration with the Apple tools (Project/Interface
Builder)
is quite impressive.
FWIW, Rod.
