Continue to voice your support for things like incorporating OpenDoc into Java. Let Apple, Sun, and the Java community at large know that you exist and that you care. (You may also have to somehow demonstrate that you matter.) Speak up on issues such as the integration of OpenDoc and Java. Develop Java-related products for the Mac. Create Web-based resources for fellow Mac Java enthusiasts. And help encourage Java to live up to its platform-independent claims. After all, this independence may be as important to Java's success as it is to Mac users.
Also, tell JavaWorld how we can best serve the needs of the Mac community. In response to your requests, we're already taking steps to make downloading source files easier, and welcome further suggestions. Send your input to feedback@javaworld.com.
