Even Apple doesn't show up in their radar... what do you expect.
This is untrue.
The Mac Runtime for Java is a high-priority environment for both Apple and Sun. Apple has been creating and pushing back some pretty significant improvements in how to share JVM's between processes more efficiently in terms of shared memory usage, and reduce the dynamic loading startup costs.
Java is as proprietary as it gets. (Unfortunately many of us need it.)
Nonsense. While Java isn't OSI Open Source compliant, it's more open than anything which *doesn't* come with the sources included.
