since am insisting on still using panther @ iBookTangerine

was wondering:
if i already have java & javac thangs updated via apple-menu's software-update
will it be dangerous(i mean get java outdated or reverse-updated)
to install the old xcode version for 10.3.9 ?


while walking around ADC
i also found
Xcode Legacy Tools
which seems only gcc related
this one is small

will this be a nice choice for gcc-ing
without being harmful to java environment?

What is actually a problem that you think you need to use a earlier version of XCode? You should be able to target different versions of gcc without changing your XCode version if thats the issue.

ls /usr/bin/gcc*
/usr/bin/gcc     /usr/bin/gcc-3.3 /usr/bin/gcc-4.0

Probably at least to pick between the gcc-3.3 gcc-4.0 versions. I'm not sure which one the real gcc points to but I'd guess the more current 4.0.

The same should apply to java/javac. XCode should have options to allow you choose which you want to target build or run against.

I've done a little of this with XCode but maybe someone who had done more can better answer your question, or you might get better XCode specific answers on the XCode list. I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned that there is a list like that.
