</div>Maybe I wrong, but I thought that Java was one of the core frameworks on<br>
the Mac. If I remember correctly, earlier Apple stated that they were<br>
going to make Java into one of the ways of doing Cocoa programming.<br>
Though with the last 2 releases of the OS they seem to be drifting away<br>
from that.<br>
<br>
Regarding Carbon, I think they are looking for a zero carbon footprint<br>
:) (couldn't resist!)<br>
<br>
That aside, I think under the Mac section MacSword should be listed<br>
first. I was surprised about BpBible, as I didn't know that could run on<br>
the Mac.<br>

It's probably best to take it off this list for now. <br>
