Use Java 1.5 on 10.3
Authored by: dille on May 05, '05 02:28:38PM
Hm, after changing the CurrentJDK link, jEdit refuses to run. Moving back the old link fixes it, so it really is a problem with the new JDK. A snippet from my console.log:

dyld: /Applications/jEdit 4.2/jEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub Undefined symbols:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Libraries/libawt.jnilib undefined reference to _kCTForegroundColorFromContextAttributeName expected to be defined in ApplicationServices
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Libraries/libawt.jnilib undefined reference to _NSAccessibilityTopLevelUIElementAttribute expected to be defined in Cocoa
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Libraries/libawt.jnilib undefined reference to _NSAccessibilityInsertionPointLineNumberAttribute expected to be defined in Cocoa
Any idea as to how I can solve this? Should I try installing again? (Pacifist asked me whether to treat /System/Library/CoreServices/Jar Launcher.app as an update or a new install -- tried both, doesn't change a bit).

Buy Tiger if you want Java 5 because this hint just won't work, simple as that.

I'm running Tiger and Java 1.5, and get similar JNI errors. I think it's because the JNI libs were compield for 1.4. I don't see any 1.5 versions of it...so I can't run some apps I compile :(

Could you (or someone else with Tiger) do me a big favour and check to see if jEdit runs on your 10.5 install? It's a free download from jedit.org.

yes yes, jEdit runs on 10.4 with java 1.5. However, it slows down a LOT. In fact, sometimes things get so slow that the CPU skyrockets just from scrolling or selecting text.

And how are things under the "regular" Java? 1.4.2, right?

(Yes, I know, I'm asking way to many questions =] )

If I remember correctly, by not installing Java 1.5 everything should work correctly. (Plus Acqusition breaks if you install java 1.5, even if you try to set the version back to 1.4.2).
