User-agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.2 (Windows/20050317)
I've got an old Powerbook 520 that I wanted to mess with a bit, and
wondered if anyone knows where I could get a copy of the MRJ SDK 1.5.
Found some information on the files I'd need here:
Wednesday, August 20, 1997
A beta version of a Just-in-time compiler for 68K Macintoshes running Macintosh Runtime for Java 1.5 (MRJ) is now avaliable at:
The light version does not include the MRJ 1.5 installer and is much smaller and easier to download. MRJ 1.5 supports Java 1.0.2 and includes a Just-In-Time compiler for PowerMacs.
Unfortunately those URLs are apparently long since kaput. Past posts to
the list (eg:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/Java-dev/2002/Apr/msg00951.html) point
to old places as well. Google turns up one possible site for those
filenames (lite version only), but it's apparently been recently taken
down as well.
I suppose that's a neat blast from the past, and works fairly well with
AWT, but I believe there are some reason I'd prefer to have a more up to
date compiler for anything that pretends to do Swing. Though I believe
the MRJ 1.5 SDK is also 1.0.2 compliant, I could have sworn I recall it
being a bit happier with Swing (though I can't help but think that Swing
needs some flavor of 1.1.x to be truly happy).
I also have jikes running fairly well under MPW (the stand-alone Jikes
app is pretty painful; you have to shut it down after each compile. MPW
and jikes is, otoh, very nice) which was suggested to me the last time I
tried to get the 520 running. This does not, however, include JBindery,
and I'd prefer not to have to do too much [ResEdit] work to get a
stand-alone up and running.
Anyhow, thanks for the time and any pointers. If you have the file in
question (and know it's legal to send it to me), feel free to attach to
an email to this address.
