Java as a language will still be available, only it won&rsquo;t be Apple that writes it and possibly it might be an optional download.</p> <p>The confusion is because up until now there has really been only one Java runtime on the Mac, which Apple wrote themselves using code licensed from Sun. Now Apple has chosen to discontinue their own particular runtime, but this doesn&rsquo;t mean that there won&rsquo;t be any Java at all.</p>
