Kind Sirs; Reposting w/o pictures of "Failed to get Java Metrics" message window, and Java Preferences General Window.
I cannot run j602 on 32 bit Macintosh MacBook Pro, running OS X 10.6.5. Apple has apparently relocated the Java Virtual Machine, and 'depricated' JVM support, whatever that means. I would guess that each IDE will have to package its own JVM, but I am not in the software business. http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#releasenotes/Java/JavaSnowLeopardUpdate3LeopardUpdate8RN/NewandNoteworthy/NewandNoteworthy.html%23//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010380-CH4-SW1 Java SE 6 Locations The location of the Java SE 6 runtime home has changed to/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home. JDK bundles provided via the Developer package, developer previews, and 3rd party JVMs should be installed in/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines or ~/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines. Developer previews of Java can now be installed and uninstalled without affecting the system JVM(s). Java IDEs In testing, some Java IDEs have shown problems navigating into the new JDK bundle structure, and persisting the location of the new JDK bundles. Some IDEs may have to change how they prompt users to locate a JVM on Mac OS X, and should ideally present a list of JVMs generated from /usr/libexec/java_home --xml, which outputs each discovered JVM, and orders them according to the user's order in Java Preferences. Java Deprecation As of the release of Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 3, the Java runtime ported by Apple and that ships with Mac OS X is deprecated. Developers should not rely on the Apple-supplied Java runtime being present in future versions of Mac OS X. When I try to load j602 I get "Failed to get Java metrics", and j602 execution aborts. The Java Preferences panel is not as was described in a previous jsoftware general email. Is there a way for me to redirect j602 to the current location of the Java Virtual Machine, or for me to invoke the JVM prior to loading j602? Thanks for any assistance you can give me. charley hine ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
