Java 6 on Mac PowerPC with Mac OS X 10.4

Question

Is it possible to get Java 6 running on a Mac PowerPC with Mac OS X 10.4? AFAIK SoyLatte is only available for Intel processors.

Answer 1

There is one out there that works and runs on ppc tiger:

1. get the .dmg and install it
2. su root; cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions; ls
3. make sure you see '1.6 -> 1.6.0' CurrentJDK -> 1.5
4. rm CurrentJDK (removes symbolic link, not the jdk)
5. ln -s 1.6 CurrentJDK
6. java -version

java version "1.6.0-dp" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-dp-b88-34) Java HotSpot(TM) Core VM (build 1.6.0-b88-17-release, interpreted mode, sharing)

Don't know where the package was downloaded from.
