Yes, DrJava Works under Mac OS X 10.7 Lion

Summer in Seattle
A radio station here in Seattle (I believe it KOMO News) had checked how many minutes of summer Seattle had so far in 2011. They defined summer as 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 C) and no rain. Guess how many? 70 … Continue reading
Does DrJava Work on Mac OS X Lion?
