Nine steps to running IDEA 3.0.1 (an integrated Java development environment) with Java 1.4.1 Developer Preview 9 on OS X 10.2.3:
- Set up a free account with Apple's ADC.
- Download and install Apple's Java 1.4.1 DP9 from the ADC site.
- Download the generic Unix tarball of IDEA from www.intellij.com.
- Unpack it ... the directory that is created will be known as IDEA_HOME.
- Create a directory named jre in IDEA_HOME. ie: IDEA_HOME/jre.
- Create a bin and lib directory in the jre directory. ie: IDEA_HOME/jre/bin and IDEA_HOME/jre/lib.
- Copy the contents of /System -> Library -> Frameworks -> JavaVM.framework -> Versions -> 1.4.1 -> Commands to the IDEA_HOME/jre/bin directory.
- Copy /System -> Library -> Frameworks -> JavaVM.framework -> Versions -> 1.4.1 -> Home -> src.jar to the IDEA_HOME/jre/lib directory.
- Run the IDEA_HOME/bin/idea.sh script in the terminal and you're good to go.
It works just as well if not better on my Dual 450 running Jaguar than my fellow linux buddies dual P3's running Linux. Good job Apple!
[Editor's note: I haven't tested this one myself, though I am grabbing the new DP9 Java release as I type this...]
