profile, adding the following lines:Įxport PATH=/Applications/soylatte16-i386-1.0.3/bin:$PATHĮxport JAVA_HOME=/Applications/soylatte16-i386-1.0.3/ Which i think it means that it is not considering the new version of java that i have installed.

Java Web Start is unable to automatically download and install the requested version. The application has requested a version of the JRE (version 1.6+) that currently is not locally installed. #An error occurred while launching/running the application. However, when i lunch my tool, i still obtain the following error message: Moreover, if i type "echo $PATH" and "echo $JAVA_HOME" i also get what i would expect. Setenv JAVA_HOME /Applications/soylatte16-i386-1.0.3/ To install soyalatte i have modified the file.

Simona has left a new comment on your post "Java 1.6 via SoyLatte on MacOS X 10.4.11":Ĭiao, i have a mac os x 10.4 and i need to use a tool which requires java6 to be installed. This is what happened with the following comment so I am manually posting it myself: I'll have to check it out while I'm in SF that week.įor history sake, I did find that Landon offered the first preview release of SoyLatte back in November of 2007 via this Artima posting titled Landon Fuller Ports OpenJDK 6 to OS X as well as an interview with Landon on JavaLobby.įWIW, a friend let me know that SoyLatte will only run on Intel-based Macs.įor some reason, Blogger occasionally sends me emails to let me know that someone has posted a comment on one of my blog posts and yet when I visit the blog post, the comment is not there.

There's even work going on to integrate with an Aqua look and feel library named Quaqua which looks pretty interesting.Īdditionally, at the bottom of the page, the author (some cool dude named Landon Fuller) indicates:

SoyLatte is initially focused on supporting Java 6 development however, the long-term view far more captivating: open development of Java 7 for Mac OS X, with a release available in concert with the official Sun release, supported on all recent versions of Mac OS X. SoyLatte is a functional, X11-based port of the FreeBSD Java 1.6 patchset to Mac OS X Intel machines. Here's a blurb about the project from the website: The Java implementation is named SoyLatte and is a port of the BSD Java for MacOS X 10.4 and 10.5. Unfortunately Robert's blog is no longer available, but I did find his video still available on Vimeo:Īfter simply expanding the bzip2 archive, I am able to execute the Java binary:

I just downloaded, expanded and ran Java 1.6 on MacOS X 10.4.11 using the advice from this blog entry by Robert Dempsey.
