Re: JVMVersion of 1.3* not working on Intel Macs



To control the JVM launched from a command line
application (the info.plist only controls applets and
java apps launched from a browser).  You can change
the default system JVM by doing this:

sudo su -
cd
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions 
ls -l 
> lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel    5 May  9 14:41 1.3 ->
1.3.1
drwxr-xr-x   8 root  wheel  272 Feb 20  2006 1.3.1
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel    5 Feb 20  2006 1.4 ->
1.4.2
drwxr-xr-x   9 root  wheel  306 Aug  4 10:38 1.4.2
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel    5 May  9 14:41 1.5 ->
1.5.0
drwxr-xr-x   8 root  wheel  272 Feb 20  2006 1.5.0
drwxr-xr-x   6 root  wheel  204 Jul  4 17:36 A
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel    1 May  9 14:41 Current
-> A
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel    5 Aug  4 11:22
CurrentJDK -> 1.4.2
rm CurrentJDK
ln -s 1.3.1 CurrentJDK

Then your default JDK will be 1.3.1 when running
"java" on a command line.

All,
We are experiencing a rather strange problem and we
would like to know 
if it is just our location or a general issue.  On our
lone MacBook Pro 
machine, setting the JVMVersion in the Info.plist of
our Application 
Bundle to "1.3*" or "1.3.1" still causes the 1.5 VM to
launch (1.4 and 
1.5 related values work fine).  Same exact bundle on
our PPC machines, 
the 1.3 VM still launches.  Can anyone else confirm
similar behavior?  
If not, any ideas on how this machine might have
gotten into this state 
(preferences, paths, etc.)?  If so, doesn't this
pretty much mean that 
1.3 is officially dead for those of us using
application bundles?

Thanks for the help.
Michael
