Apple support for Java

This is entirely unexpected from Apple. There are rumors circulating around the web that Apple will not be including Java in its next release of Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) next year. "Apple not committing to Java support in Mac OS X 10.7"

Since this is only a rumor, I have to take this with a grain of salt. But, based the Apple/Adobe fiasco earlier this year it would not surprise me. The Mac has been the my Java development platform of choice so far. I think this would be a mistake. It makes me wonder if this has something to do with the Oracle acquisition of Sun.
