Eclipse (java) for mac G4?
« on: February 24, 2011, 07:15:53 pm »
 ??? I have an old mac G4 that I was given to me a few days ago and I need to use it to program java on for my adv. comp sci class. I have to program on there because i cant run anything on this computer and the other computer is in use and I really need to get some work done. Unfortunately Eclipse Helios won't run on that so does anyone know of a version or a good java sdk that will work on powerpc g4? I know this is a very unusual question.

hmm I tried eclipse galilaeo but then it said java virtual machine was outdated it needed version 1.5 or greater and I have 1.4.2_07 of the JVM and I have no way of downloading the new one because I cant connect to the internet on that computer (no wifi card) so i also need help there :S

Okay, hmm..  How about downloading it on the computer you are using now, and transferring with a flash drive.  Just do the OS independent option.

You are going to have to find some way to update your computer through the internet for java, though.

yeah thats not gonna happen. Also the way that it updates is via 'mac os update' software and i have no idea where that is located. So basically im screwed over then?

You can try netbeans for mac: http://netbeans.org/kb/articles/mac.html
I don't know if it will complain about out of data java, or update it.  Load it on a flash drive, and see. ;-)
