Hi and thanks to those who take the time to
reply....
I am running OS X 10.4.2
java version "1.4.2_09"
I wanted to switch to using 1.5 with netbeans 4.1. I
noticed at java.com there is not a binary update.
I did update to 1.5.0 via developer.apple.com
According to apple this is not a replacement for JDK
1.4.2. Why would I need the 1.4 version if I have
downloaded the update?
Next, In school we are using 1.5 with netbeans 4.1
on
a windows environment. At home I have only OS X and
Linux. My Instructor said using OS X in class is
fine,
but I am concerned about compatability issues (
which
using the scanner class in school forced me to>
upgrade
to 1.5 at home) are then any I should be aware of?
Last but not least...
/usr/bin/java is 1.4.2 I would like to replace that
with 1.5 I noticed it was a symlink and tried to
rename java (1.4) to java_backup ( I was afraid to
delete it ). Can i just delete the symlink with "rm
/usr/bin/java"? Then symlink:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/...java
to /usr/bin/java
or is there a better solution? I want netbeans to
use
1.5.0 on default which I have looked how to do but
to
no avail.
Is there an environment variable I can set in my
.bashrc file like
JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home
that netbeans will use as default?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
