Re: JRE in a subdirectory

Larry,

In my experience users hate to download 30 MB only to start an application. (This is the main problem of Java.) They say "Why do I have to download something if I have just bought a CDROM? Why isn't everything on that CDROM".

Your question about older macs does not relate to the JRE in subdirectory issue. It's another question refering to developing for 2 JVMs.

Tom,

What you could do it to create your own application bundle with your own java launch stub that would check for that specific version of Java, and put up an appropriate message regarding Java 5, perhaps with a link to the Apple download site.

Also what will you do about potential users who have older Mac OS's? Apple has stated that Java 5 will only work on 10.4.x and later. You might want to also add that info to the lancher.
