Dear Confocalists,

If you use Java (eg Fiji / ImageJ)  on a Mac,
you might like to show your support by signing the petition lined to below,
since Apple will not update Java for OSX anymore:

http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/macjdk

ImageJ and Fiji run on top of Java
which on Mac OSX has been supplied by Apple.
Since they will not provide any new versions in the future,
someone else will have to, and we hope apple will share their
existing Java implementation code with
the open source java community openJDK etc.

cheers

Dan
