February
Apple doesn’t support java 6 on OSX 1.5/Leopard instead on 1.6/SnowLeopard. Thx God, after googling i found one project, that port Java 6 to MacOSX 1.4-1.5.
Ok. Let’s start :
1. Download the JDK from http://landonf.bikemonkey.org/static/soylatte/
2. extract and copy/move to appropriate installation location
3. edit /Users/myuser/.profile
add this line : export PATH=/soylattelocation/:$PATH
4. from terminal type command : sudo ln -sf /soylattelocation/bin/* /usr/bin
this command will create links to /usr/bin
5. type command : java -version
6. Yeaaa..
