Archalien Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Use the normal client on bittorrent.com. It works fine. Java is still for powerpc which is why any web browser that're in "intel-mode" will reject javascript plugins. It stinks, but we just need to wait it out until java releases official stuff for x86 macs. It should be fairly soon, since a lot of devs need java in order to work on their applications. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dont get ur hopes up too much Apple handles their own java stuff, as such, any x86 java releases will come from them and only go out to their to their "special" people, Im sure it will get leaked from them in time, but apple always lags behind suns java releases. PPC tiger doesnt even come with java 1.5 and its been out for some time- I can install 1.5 on x86 but cant set it as default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigxcpu Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 java works perfectly in x86. tested netbeans (huge app, tons of RAM), various gui clients, various server-side jsp/servlet apps. all work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you saying that you didn't do anything with your install and that it just works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't try using netbeans because I'd much rather use XCode, and if I'm going to use Netbeans I might as well get the speed boost of booting into Linux. What exactly did you do to get it working? And where did you even find Netbeans for OSX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filcab Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I can't download Java 5.0... It always has a 404 error. Where did you download it from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzhu8192 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Please see my post "Azureus 2.3.0.4 working" for instructions on how to get Azureus 2.3.0.4 working with the included JVM. I had to recompile the native libraries of SWT from PPC to x86. It's generally not a good idea to install a PPC JVM, as both performance and stability will suffer by magnitudes. To further clarify, the JVM (1.4.2_07) that comes with MacOSX x86 is pretty stable and performs quite well. It is a native x86 application, not PPC. It also dyna-rec's to x86 code, much like a Sun's Windows x86 JVM or Linux x86 JVM. If you install a JVM by downloading from Apple's website, you will most likely get a PPC compiled JVM, which will not be stable and will run relatively much slower, if at all. If it runs, it will probably dyna-rec to PPC code, which is ridiculous on a x86 OS, since it will probably slow things down rather than speed it up.
