I’ve got Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) pre-ordered. I’ve been waiting for this released for a long time now, not for spotlight or automator (although both look cool) but for Java 1.5 (or Java 5 as the inflationists call it). With only a few days of waiting left, I keep finding tools that would help me, but they require Java 1.5. I hope Java 1.6 doesn’t take this long to come to the Mac. I’ve found two different Java Help authoring systems that I’d love to try, but I have to wait for Tiger.
Update April 29
I’ve got more waiting todo. I found a pre-release. Tiger doesn’t include Java 1.5, but Java 1.5 won’t be available for Panther.
