Title: Java 1.4.2_09 and Jalbum 7.4.1
Post by: eilygre on 2007.12.27, 01:31:15
While trying to install Jalbum on eCs 2.0 rc2 I get the error message "Exception in thread "main"".  The JAlbum download page says "Be sure you have Java 1.4 or later installed" and also let me verify the Java installation. Doing so I get the message:

"      Verifying Java Version

Oops! You don't have the recommended Java installed.
Your Java version is Version 1.4.2 Update 9. Please click the button below to get the recommended Java for your computer. "

and the recommended version is 6 update 3.

Does this mean that I just have to forget installing JAlbum 7.4.1 and a lot of new Java programs?

Haven't try latest jalbum but the verinfying site you mentioned just tells you that you're java is not the latest available from Sun. Well, java 1.4_9 is the latest for eCS, but according to jalbum site this should be enough. So, download and try, I guess it'll work!

Hi Einar,

Try downloading the version without installer (zip file), works fine here under Java 1.4 on OS/2 v4.52
