Re: Universal JavaApplicationStub - Jar Bundler doesn't give it to me.



I filed a bug (#4405542) and was told:

Engineering has determined that this issue behaves as intended based on the following information:

Please know that the PowerPC-only JavaApplicationStub will work correctly on Mac OS X for Intel (will run Java natively, not in Rosetta).

Thank you for taking the time to submit this report.

Huh? So what is it, is the JavaApplicationStub supposed to be PowerPC only, or is it supposed to be universal? Seems odd that it would not be universal. I never complained that the PowerPC stub wouldn't work. But someone hinted that application startup time might be affected if an intel-based Mac had to fudge things to deal with the PowerPC launcher.

releases of my products I should replace that "thin" stub with the
universal version, just to be a good citizen.

You're right on both counts there.
