QA1295 - Java on Intel-based Macintosh Computers



For those that haven't seen the QA note...

<http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2005/qa1295.html>

Part likely interested to most Java developers (not just JNI using applications)...

Do I need to change my Java application to run on Intel-based Macintosh computers?

The answer is probably no. Pure Java applications require no code changes to run on Intel-based Macintosh computers. This includes the following deployment scenarios:

Shell script- or command line-based Java applications
Double-clickable jar files
Double-clickable Java applications packaged using Xcode, Jar Bundler, or Project Builder
Java Applets
Java Web Start applications
Note: Double-clickable Java applications built with tools prior to Xcode 2.1 contain a PowerPC binary. The Java launcher framework will detect those binaries on Intel-based Macintosh computers and relaunch the application through a native binary. This process is transparent to the user, but may add to application launch time. It is therefore recommended that you rebundle your double-clickable Java applications using Xcode 2.1, or using Jar Bundler after installing Xcode 2.1, which provide a universal binary launcher stub.
