no-can-do here<br>
for 10.6/SL users anyway,<br>
because the Oracle croox won't support us,<br>
and Apple won't do the honours either<br>
still leaving us at:<br>
<br>
$ java -version<br>
java version "1.6.0_51"<br>
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_51-b11-457-10M4509)<br>
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.51-b01-457, mixed mode)<br>
<br>
And BTW the Firefox plugin checker has been lying to us about this,<br>
flagging my plugins as 'outdated'! Honest!<br>
<br>

<br>
What in blue-blazes are we suppose to do about Java etc.<br>
when the GoogleCode project has been axed<br>
which did have some ready-to-install .pkg files<br>
for Java-7 & -8 built for us SL users.<br>
They've wiped out everything at the GoogleCode site<br>
<<a href="http://code.google.com/p/openjdk-osx-build/" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/openjdk-osx-build/</a>>.<br>
They seemed to move the project to GitHub at<br>
<<a href="https://github.com/hgomez/obuildfactory/#osx" target="_blank">https://github.com/hgomez/obuildfactory/#osx</a>><br>
which forces us to BUILD the Java code<br>
as far as I can understand their instructions.<br>
<br>
Rather, I am probably going to disable Java entirely here.<br>
<br>
(sorry for bringing too much rain to flood this party,<br>
but I am hoppin' mad at The Fruits<br>
for leaving some of us with 32-bit EFI/BIOS.<br>
I refuse to upgrade to 10.7/Lion,<br>
been hearing/reading way too many horror stories about it.<br>
And I don't have hackability to use the Chameleon project<br>
[to possibly steer us around the 32-bit EFI/BIOS].<br>
We are not permitted to run any higher level of OSX<br>
even tho my iMac has a 64-bit capable CPU (Core-2-Duo).<br>
I _cannot afford_ to upgrade to newer machinery either.<br>
FWIW I am planning to jump the fruity ship<br>
and go full F/OSS [I do have some expertise there]<br>
if-whenever my disabled/retirement funds allow.<br>
I've joined the F/OSS crowd long ago<br>
because it was actually part of my paid job<br>
[over the four decades work I have on record].<br>
…but I've digressed too much for this list…)<br>
<br>
</rant><br>
<br>
(P.S. yes I am one of the "MacInTouch Readers"<br>
who harps about this from time to time)<br>
<br>
I thank you and the list for putting up with me here.<br>
<br>
