Hi Tobi,

We haven't had many complaints thus far from Swing developers migrating on Mac. But \
besides that, we don't support the Java 6 VM, Apple does, and that limits what kind \
of things we can do with regards to integration and fixes. We don't have infinite \
resources. Apple is clearly leaving 32 bit behind and encouraging people to upgrade \
to Java 7. That's the way forward.

Richard
