Java 1.2 or 1.3 for Apple OS 9?
Does anyone know of a way to upgrade a Mac running OS 9 to use Java version 1.2 or 1.3?
I know that by upgrading to OS X I can accomplish this. However, for OS 9 it looks like the latest version of the MRJ (MRJ 2.2.5) still only includes the Java 1.1.8 codebase.
Is there any way to upgrade the JRE or are there any third party product available? An Apple exec has previously stated that this is not planned (see article excerpt below), but I'm hoping that this situation has changed in the past year.
From JavaWorld August 2000: "Steve Naroff, Apple's senior director of Java technologies and core tools, outlined the company's plans for Java on the Mac at JavaWorld's State of Java on the Mac panel discussion. He said that Mac OS 9 will not support Java 2, but that Apple will continue to improve the offerings for Java 1.1.8 on that platform."
