The Java Developers also have some gripes with some of the more advanced features of Java 5 on the Mac - specifically anything that has to to with Graphical User Interfaces (GUI’s). Of course, there are two sides to this story- first, Porting Java on OS X is hard and, Java 5 on OS X is Pretty Good.

The 'beats.html' is distorted on iMac Intel OSX 10.5.1, but not on XP SP2 Intel PC. Also my own Java app is OK on XP SP2, was fine on Tiger, but is very distorted on Leopard. Other sound e.g. from iTunes is OK on Leopard. Have same problem as lachlustre (25). The ‘beats.html’ is distorted on iMac Intel OSX 10.5.1, but not on XP SP2 Intel PC.

Sound playback seems to be pretty broken on my Mac: my own application plus any applet I have tried plays back with horrendous distortion now (e.g. http://library.thinkquest.org/19537/java/Beats.html for a random sound applet that now sounds distorted). Sound playback still works fine with JRE 1.4, and sound playback used to work fine with JRE 1.5 with Mac OS 10.4... I haven't seen any other reports of this bug yet, so if anyone else can reproduce it, I'd love to hear about it. “Java 5 on Leopard is a significant improvement”

That sure looks like a warning that things might break without warning to me. So you were using an unsupported beta framework for WORK? And then you upgraded your WORK machine to a brand-new OS release without bothering to check to see if anything would break? Uh-huh. apple gave no warning jdk 6 would break

The bug seems to be relating to the file tab control when using the Mac LAF. The issue is adverted by using the Metal look and feel. Not a good solution, but there is a real work around, so this won't stop me from wanting to swap cats on my Mac. being the OSX and IntelliJ ‘fanboy’ that I am, I went and checked the IntelliJ Jira.

GWT is broken because of native platform code, not Java. JetBrains JIRA instance isn't responding at the moment so I don't know the details of that one - given the lack of complaints on the java-dev list though it's unlikely to be a show stopper bug. There were bugs in Java on 10.4, there are bugs in Java on 10.5 - if anything, the upgrade to 10.5 has gone smoother than any previous OS upgrade. The sky is not falling and Java is not severly broken - severly broken would be the upgrade that left Java seg faulting for quite a few users. Three bugs, two of which are *not* in Java is a pretty good record for a major upgrade. Noone is claiming that 10.5 is perfect - I've logged a number of bugs with Apple about it myself (none of them about Java yet), but it's not "severly broken", it's not even a bad release - it's a significant improvement and I'm very glad that I upgraded.
