Now that J 6.01 has been released, will a J6 version for Intel Macs be
developed?
As noted in the thread last May
(http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/beta/2006-May/001109.html), jconsole
runs (presumably under emulation), but jw fails with an error in jni.
Hopefully, recompiling the current jni code would allow it to run on the
Intel platform. J 5.04 runs fine, about as fast under emulation on my
Macbook Pro as it did under my PPC laptop.
About 1/3 of the Mac users in my department have switched to Intel
machines, and most of the rest will be on the new platform within the
next year. I'm anxious to move my software to J 6.01, but won't be able
to until we have a version of J6 that runs on the Intel Macs. Any
guidance on a time line for J6 on the Intel Macs will be greatly
appreciated.
