  • Microsoft contributes to Java port for Apple silicon Macs

    kariannakarianna
    Microsoft, along with a number of other major developers, are working to port Java to ARM-based Mac and Windows machines, including upcoming Apple silicon Macs.

    Project collaborators Microsoft, Azul, and others, hope to have a working port of OpenJDK ready for Apple's ARM-based Macs when the machines begin to hit store shelves in 2021, reports InfoQ.

    JVM performance expert Monica Beckwith is spearheading the initiative for Microsoft. A self-proclaimed "Java champion," Beckwith is an experienced Java performance engineer with a specialization in ARM architecture. She previously handled similar projects at Oracle and Sun.
    Hi all - I'm the Group Engineering Manager for Java at Microsoft. I did want to comment on the quote above about Monica. She did not 'self-proclaim' herself as a Java Champion, that's not the sort of person Monica is! That title was given to her by her peers in the Java community for services to the Java ecosystem, it's a rare honour which has only been handed out ~250 times since Sun/Oracle started the program decades ago.

    We looks forward to making Java on Mac OS X Silicon a first class citizen for you all!
