Few things I didn’t understand on OS X…
From 2010 until today…
Throughout the internet there were several sources stating that according to Apple’s EULA it wasn’t legal to run any virtual machine (including JVM) on OS X 10.5 and above.
As time passed, internet sources stated that JVM shipping with OS X was deprecated only and Oracle took over the updates.
Currently, is it legal to run JVM on OS X? If so, does Apple supports it?
EDIT:
All Apple’s i-devices will never run JVM (at least not support it). I don’t know what’s the future on this issue, but it seems that there JVMs for i-devices, but are they legal?
Answer
Certainly the last few versions of OSX haven’t shipped with a JRE but if you try to run any .jar file a message pops up and asks if you want to download one. This come from them directly and is supported by them although it’s almost 100% pure Oracle code.
