| Has anyone tested the latest Apple Java update for MacOSX 10.4 with Jmol? Here is the description: Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Release 3 includes version 1.5.0_05 and improves functionality of J2SE 5.0 on Mac OS X v 10.4 Tiger 10.4.2 and later. This release does not replace the existing installation of J2SE 1.4.2. For more details on this Update, please visit this website: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302412 [the above link takes you to the following:] "Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Release 3 allows applications and applets developed for the J2SE 5.0 platform to run on Mac OS X v 10.4.2 and later. This update does not change the default version of Java on your Mac from Java 1.4.2 to J2SE 5.0, though Java applications that require J2SE 5.0 may specifically request it. You can change the preferred Java version for applications and applets by using the new Java Preferences utility. This utility is installed by the J2SE 5.0 update at /Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE 5.0/. Software developers may visit the Java Reference Library for information on this release's features." I usually wait a week or so to see if anything crops up. I have not installed it yet, just wondering if any problems indicate we should hold off. I think this came out on Nov 15. Frieda |
