You can install java 1.5 and java 1.6 on your system. Setup an environment variable which supports the selection of the Java version which you want to use. If you do development on the SDK/platform switch to 1.5, for app development switch to 1.6.
For example on my MAC I find the 1.6 bin in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home/bin/ and 1.5 in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Home/bin/ Make sure that you also set your build path accordingly! -- Roman Baumgaertner Sr. SW Engineer-OSDC ·T· · ·Mobile· stick together The views, opinions and statements in this email are those of the author solely in their individual capacity, and do not necessarily represent those of T-Mobile USA, Inc.
