OK, so I ported Azureus to an unibin (actually, azureus didn't need porting at all since it's java, it's SWT that I had to port), here it is:

 

First, the screenshot:

And now, the download link:

 

Azureus Universal Binary

 

A note: The JavaApplicationStub wrapper is still powerpc. However, the wrapper is a 208kb application. Rosetta interference is minimal. The only difference you will probably notice, is that "Get Info" returns Application (PowerPC) even though this is an unibin. But don't worry, everything is running natively. And it's a big improvement, considering that in rosetta, azureus doesn't even run ;)

 

The PowerPC part of the SWT library was built with altivec support, so this will not run on a G3. If you have a G3, get the official azureus binary. If you have a G4/G5, then this azureus should be quicker than the official binary. If you have an intel mac, the official binary won't even work ;)

 

Enjoy!

Well, this is completely illogical and without sense, but the official universal JavaApplicationStub from Apple is actually slower than the ppc version! so, i'm definitely staying with the ppc version for best performance. (there's no performance penalty at all once azureus is running anyway)

If you want it to say "Universal", just type this at the terminal:

cp /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Resources/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub /Applications/Azureus.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub

If you want it to say "Intel", then:

ditto --arch i386 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Resources/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub /Applications/Azureus.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub

Have you considered reading what I posted on this very thread?
