39thRonin Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I just visited the Apple Dev site and found that (finally!) a fairly recent build of J2SE 5.0 is available. Like most folks around here, I've had a few java-related problems that I'd like to solve. This looked like the ticket. I downloaded it, and this little ditty popped up during my attempt at installtion: Alert This update requires Mac OS X 10.4.5 (Intel) or later. Question. Why put up an important file like this (and offer it for each architecture (Intel & PPC) and then not have an OS to install it on??? Inquiring minds want to know. BTW, the java build is dated today (1/25/2006) so perhaps our Dev friends could check around to see where 10.4.5 is located?

suleiman Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 (edited) have you tried editing the plists for your systemversion to 10.4.5 and seeing if it installs correctly?

I edited /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist and changed the ProductVersion string to 10.4.5. The result: Hackintosh:/Library/Preferences root# java -version java version "1.5.0_06" Java 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-103) Java HotSpot Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-57, mixed mode, sharing) Worked like a champ!

39thRonin Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 great....any chance you could post the updated java dmg to rapidshare.de? I didn't update the .dmg yet - the installcheck routine is a perl script inside a package. I've not messed with re-packaging apps much, but I do have pacifist and will give it a shot.

domino Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Thanks for the info. Getting it now. Be careful with this update. It's really hard to role back after updating java. Do all your java .apps still work jb? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7742-macos-x-1045-must-be-out/#findComment-48569 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sigxcpu Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Yeap. I've put 10.4.5 in SystemConfiguration and it's installing OK.

mpeters13 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 (edited) Does the system need to be rebooted after making the change? I've changed mine, but it appears I can't install it.

suleiman Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 before i embark on this upgrade, how have you folks with this installed been finding it? the semester is back in full force, so I need to be careful with what upgrades/changes I make to this system, because I definitely can't afford a reinstall until May.

Tek_No Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Some results: I already had ProductVersion "10.4.4" and ProductBuildversion "8G1165" in my SystemVersion.plist (to mess with some other applications) and I didn't get the message that 10.4.5 was needed during install of j2se50release4dp5_i386 Apparently a reboot is not required: before the update a "java -version" was listing version 1.4.x and now it says "1.5.0_06-57, mixed mode, sharing" I already tested some Java online games in Opera and at first look it works fine...
