I just got the Java 5 Release 1 for Mac OS X 10.4 and installed it.
I tried to set the Java 5 VM as the default VM using the tool from /
Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE 5.0. I selected J2SE 5.0. But when
I go to the Terminal and type "java -version" I still get "1.4.2_07".
Looking into /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions
shows that the link "CurrentJDK" still points to "1.4.2". Do I have
to change this link, too? And what about the strange directory "A"?
The link "Current" points to the directory "A". Do I have to change
this link, too?
No need to modify links, etc. unless you really want to (could get
you in trouble on a future update, etc.)
If you want to run java via the terminal simply add an alias to the
version of Java you want to use (name it java or java5, etc.). See my
last email to this list for paths.
For applets the preference tool you used will take affect and if you
have a bundled Java application simply update its plist to request
1.5 or if it specifies 1.4+ then the preference tool you used should
get 1.5 picked up if you can the order (I believe).
