Macintosh & Java enthusiasts rejoice at Macworld

"Out of the gate, Mac OS X will have four compelling environments" for Java development. If developers live in a command line environment, they can use vi or emacs and the Java command line tools for development. For those looking for a multilingual environment, Apple's Project Builder supports C, C++, and Java. Further, there's the traditional Mac IDE, Metrowerks's CodeWarrior. Finally, if developers simply want to do Java development, they can turn to Borland's JBuilder. All of which points to a great many more choices than Java developers have ever had for developing on the Mac.
