I don't think that "in" Java, it is "for" java. The IDE will still be 
same as it is now, implemented in C/C++ on various platforms. In fact, 
they have already sold 3 releases of "CodeWarrior for Java" products on 
the Mac. This 4th release may be the first one to support Java on Windows.

BTW: The CodeWarrior project files for Pro 3 and Pro 4 are already 
cross-platform for Mac and Windows. They also allow projects containing 
projects, and multiple targets in a project, so a project can have, for 
example, Mac Release, Windows Release, Mac Debugging, and Windows 
Debugging targets in one project, and all targets can be compiled in the 
Mac IDE or the Windows IDE. (I usually have additional targets for 
English and Japanese, which differ only in the resource files.)

I suggest that any squeak maintainers currently using CodeWarrior Pro 4 
on Mac or Windows should make their projects multi-target, for generating 
the Mac and Windows Squeak applications.
