Reports of Apple deleting Java developer threads in its discussion boards

Apple is apparently silencing developers complaining about the missing Java 6 in their forums.

A user calling himself 'Blacky' writes:
Ontopic now: I'm disgusted about how apple handles developers, my eclipse is crashing on leopard, I don't hava java 6, I don't have any word if there ever will be one, ...

I posted on the thread on apple's own discussion board, the frecking thread got deleted!!!
Taking all this into account I wouldn't bet my money on the new Ruby and Python support, either. Just don't buy a shiny park of Mac Pro's for your developer shop, yet - as many Java folks once did. The buzzed up Xcode may look compelling to you today, but it might become unsupported before your first large development project even reaches the finish line. Listen to Jobs presenting his toys onstage, but better don't give too much about his promises to developers again.

I'm a bit annoyed about the whole leopard - jdk thing... But history says there will be an update soon...

I want java 6 now... But I have done fine with java 5... It just means I have to do work on my work notebook instead of my mac when working at home.

What a pity... I love my mac too..
