I have been given the option to either have a Windows laptop or a Mac laptop to do my Java development on. Before committing to one of these, I thought I would find out if there are any issues or benefits I should know about using a Mac laptop over a windows laptop?
One thing I did hear was that the Java JDK releases are not always the latest for Macs and you need to wait a while.
My environment is simple: Eclipse with Java EE 5.0
For your configuration, there’s no problem…
That’s true that sometimes you have to wait for release but nothing really insurmountable…
I got some issues with Eclipse, though. It crashes quite often but I’m doing intensive stuff…
One my issue was with the shortcuts, that sounds dumb but I’m a heavy shortcut user and switching between control and the apple keys and alt was sometimes hard to remember..
