For home users or non-company-wide business users who "just need that specific tool that needs a VM" it would be not good having to pay money for the runtime on Mac. Maybe this is OK for business users, where the ISV might bundle the redistributable runtime with his software in an "all-in package" that is installed by the ISV. I think, it would be no favor to the java platform if it becomes "ubiquitious - only *if my users* pay for it". And too, as a developer (and ISV) I appreciate very much the idea of "write once, run everywhere". Also it would be a little bit awkward for me why I should pay for Java on Mac when Java everywhere else is "free".
Why not pay for something that provides added value.Īs a developer? Well, I would say that depends (not only) on the license. Also via: /airhacks and Īs a home user, I might get used to the idea.

A JDK 1.7 port could be even integrated into the Mac OS X Lion app store with auto-update functionality. The business model would be very similar to Linux-distributions. Is a compelling idea (with several hundred thousands potential customers). Spending 20-50$ for a nice, easy to install JDK 7 port Mac OS X users are spending money for useful tools, editors and productivity extensions.
