Can you tell me if this is valid today? If this is not the proper
Forum for this question, can you point me to one that is? Thanks.
I was hoping for a version of Java greater than 1.5 for my PPC Mac (A
Digital Audio Dual 533 G4 running Leopard 10.5.8).
I found this version of OpenJDK 1.7 which they say is for PPC Macs:
32-bit OpenJDK 7 Beta 1 for Mac OS X 10.5 PowerPC (Beta Release):
openjdk7-macppc-2009-12-16-b4.tar.bz2
on http://landonf.bikemonkey.org/static/soylatte/
And this is what I get as echo $PATH and java -version in Terminal,
after downloading, decompressing, placing it in my Users Library, and
adding it to my PATH:
Acoustic-Piano-Mac-3:~ moonstoneartstudio$ echo $PATH
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/Users/moonstoneartstudio/Library/
openjdk7-macppc-2009-12-16-b4/bin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/
sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
Acoustic-Piano-Mac-3:~ moonstoneartstudio$ java -version
openjdk version "1.7.0-internal"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-internal-
landonf_2009_12_16_12_54-b00)
OpenJDK Zero VM (build 17.0-b05, interpreted mode)
But it doesn't show up in the Java Preferences.app window ... just 1.5
and 1.4, and when I try to run an application requiring Java, such as
PS3 Media Server, it still says there's no Java version >= 1.6.
Know what I'm missing? It's a Developer package, and hasn't been
turned on, even though its in the PATH?
I did try a Safe Boot and Restart to rebuild caches to no avail.
