Jazz 1.0 M3 Mac Setup without Java 6


Aaron Cohen (8207851) | asked May 11 '09, 7:25 p.m.

I was reading on the Developer Setup Wiki Page that some components of Jazz 1.0 require Java 6. Since Java 6 will not be shipped on the Mac until Snow Leopard, how should we Mac users setup our RTC 2.0 environment? Are there certain components we should stay away from until Java 6 is available?

Thanks!

I am running all RTC 2.0 components on OS X without Java 6 and haven't
encountered any problems so far.

I don't know which plugins the Wiki page refers to, however.

I was looking here:

https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/DevSetupMain

"A few Jazz plug-ins now depend on Java 6.0, so you need to download and install a Java 6.0 SDK."

Nevertheless, I seem to be running it without a problem.

Note that this means 32-bit Mac intel hardware is out of luck...Apple
has stated that Java 6 will only be supported on 64-bit intel hardware.

We support Java 6 but do not require it.
