It looks like Apple is claiming a Java 1.3 development environment for Mac 
OS X. See:

http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/ReleaseNotes/JavaGMWebReleaseNotes.html

http://developer.apple.com/java/

These press releases look a lot more promising than what can be found at 
the FreeBSD site:

http://www.freebsd.org/java/

Are these separate development efforts? If so, has anyone used the Mac OS X 
Java? Does it actually work? Can you run E? Can you keep a servlet engine 
running for any length of time?

If Mac OS X actually has a working Java 1.3 and a decent browser (they 
claim IE5), I would be very tempted to switch platforms.
