This page outlines the status of high-level feature areas to bring from Apple's Java SE 6 to the Mac OS X port of JDK 7u4.
7u4 is now complete; 7u6 is in active development in jdk7u-dev.
A list of popular open issues is available at the JIRA bug reporter.
Build
build using clang build .jdk bundle (for CommandLine and embedded use only) build embeddable .jre bundle
HotSpot
remove ALWAYS_PASS_TEST_GAMMA hack register new threads as ObjC-GC capable DTrace v2-style probes Core Libraries
Load .jnilib (in addition to .dylib) - fixed for 7u4! Precomposed/Decomposed File path translation kqueue based Selectors WatchService implementation (kqueue-based) WatchService implementation (polling-based)Async I/O APIProxy Server handling Locale support System properties fixup (vendor name, etc)
Resolve "Darwin" vs. "Mac OS X" checks JNI interface Networking X11 Universal binaries JObjC
get tests passing self-generate BridgeSupport full files Cocoa AWT
2D drawing (OpenGL based)
Cocoa key/text events
cleanup to use JRSEvent API merge JDK6 CWindow -> LWCWindow changes and style flags update CImage Transparent window support Headless remove $AWT_TOOLKIT=CToolkit, switch to default threading cleanup Aqua LaF
Requires an image tile cache Screen Menu Bar

Needs cleanup to use JRSFont API Accessibility Clipboard Drag & Drop InputMethod support AppleScript javax.script engine Sound Printing Keychain Provider JAWT (for SWT/3D embedding) Smartcard Fix Kerberos code to read config info from SCDynamicStore (needed on Lion) | http://java.net/jira/browse/MACOSX_PORT-566] AWT Desktop API System Tray Bundled app launching
JavaApplicationStub replacement
Stub source now checked in. More tools for bundling an app are coming. Stub and AWT reviewed for sandboxing
need to fix JavaSound, launcher stub, and remove dependency on X11 libfreetype. Applets/Plugin2
Need to create .plugin bundle
Need to embed slimmed JRE into .plugin bundle Need NPAPI/Cocoa event -> Java event conversion Need the LWAWT to render into NSOpenGLLayer (see above)
Need cross-process CALayer connection mechanism to be exposed Need to determine update mechanism (Sparkle.framework?) JavaFx support Web Start
Need to determine delivery vehicle (inside Applet plug-in, or some other form) – Java Web Start.app will find javaws in the deployment bundle and execute that. Requires at least 10.7.3. Shortcut support Java Preferences
UI cleanup: Look better on Mac OS X Preference pane Merge BSDPort into mainline jdk so that Mac OS X Port can be inserted into mainline:
Merge BSDPort hotspot, patch and description at: BSDPort, Description of jdk7 changes Move internal bugs to http://java.net/jira/browse/MACOSX_PORT Write up development wiki pages for
Quickstart Status Compiler changes/issues Cocoa & Java crash course Threading manifesto Memory management manifesto AppKit Threading & Cocoa Memory Management best practices examples Internal "Adopt-an-app" testing workflows Port private JUnit harness tests to jtreg
These features will not be ported to OpenJDK from the Apple Java SE 6 port
