I just realized I have been using one of the last
beta's and tried to install the stable version on my Mac.
The jconsole version is installing but the java version is
not. So I have reread the install.txt which suggests
that the problem is likely because java cannot be found.
Below are my queries regarding the version and location of
java.
[2:55pm brian~]% which java
/usr/bin/java
[6:21pm brian~]% java -version
java version "1.4.2_09"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_09-232)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-54, mixed mode)
[6:21pm brian~]% more /Users/brian/j601/jw
#!/bin/sh
J=${JPATHj601-~/j601}
java -Xss8000000 -jar -Xdock:name=J -Xdock:icon=$J/j.icns $J/j.jar "$@"
I altered jw as follows to supply the complete path
to java, but still J does not launch. For a second or so I
see the top bar of a J window, but not a whole window.

J=${JPATHj601-~/j601}
/usr/bin/java -Xss8000000 -jar -Xdock:name=J -Xdock:icon=$J/j.icns $J/j.jar "$@"
I reviewed a relatively recent version of jw that I
am pretty sure worked (see below). It looks quite different,
so I wonder what I should do.

J=$HOME/j601
java -jar -Xdock:name=J -Xdock:icon=$J/j.icns $J/j.jar $*
