Does anyone have Java 1.5 apps working under Java 1.5_07??

I finally got around to trying out Java 1.5_07.  And was tesing it with the apps that I normally use, these apps are working for me.

Java 1.5 apps:
Frostwire-4.13.5.windows.exe:  Working, but I had to install it from windows.

Java 1.4 apps:
jAblums 7.4 - http://jalbum.net/
Borg-Calendar - http://borg-calendar.sourceforge.net
JETI/2 - http://www.ehlertronic.de/jabber.htm

Thanks to Michael Holzapfel for pointing this out!

I was thinking about repacking (Torrent) Java and some apps for anyone that does not have Windows installed.

I'd like to use Torrent, but I have no idea how. If you repack Torrent, could an eCS user learn to use Torrent just from that?

Neil,

The repacking and torrent part is not much of a problem.  But a public disto. of it probably would have legal problems(it was late when I wrote that).  How ever since there is almost zero response to Java 1.5 running on OS/2, then I guess there is not any demand for it.  However I do remember all the responses when Java 1.5 came out, but not for OS/2!

One thing that I have notice is that Java 1.5 locks up less then Java 1.4 so far (Only on the apps that I use).

If you are talking about the client(Torrent) side then check out my site.

Hi

You can add the current Phex and LimeWire to your list of working Java 1.5 apps.

Both can be a little slow in responding to mouse clicks here though which can give the appearance of the app having crashed.

Also Mercury dMSN Messenger works fine, but i don't know if webcam works.

Mostly I use an app here at work to claim my time.  It has shipped with a 1.5 JRE for sometime but I have been successfully using it on OS/2 with Java 1.4.2 and it works with Java 1.5.

Anyone have a working link to Java 1.5.0_07? That link posted in the top of the thread seems to not be working.

It's under archives on the Sun download site.
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/   => JDK/JRE - 5.0
the 7th item down (Make sure its the 1.5_07 version).

If you don't have windows to install it and can wait, email me and I will put a copy on my ftp server in the next day or two.

Thus far, in my experience, Java 1.5.0_07 has been less prone to crashing and/or corrupting the WPS. 

As to Pete's comment about Limewire being "a little slow in responding to mouse clicks", I am definitely NOT seeing that here.  I am running the very latest version, Limewire 4.16.7 Pro, and it is quite responsive.  In fact, I see no difference running it under OS/2, XP, or Vista, with the exception of a slower launch time under OS/2. 

As far as there being little "response to Java 1.5 running on OS/2", keep in mind that when things "just work" with OS/2, there has always been little response in forums".  Most activity is generated in the, no solution, looking for a solution, or working on a solution phase.  Certainly, the discovery of this version of Java 1.5 working with OS/2 was an important find.  Likewise, the ability to use the Innotek wrapper is a MUCH appreciated, elegant solution.

Java 1.6.0_05 executables don't work, but I will see if the Java will run if I get back my Java 1.42 executables while still using the JRE6 classes and libs.

HAH! I finally did something (albeit small) useful. I figured out how to hybridize the Innotek Java 1.42 and the Windows 1.50 JRE so you dont need any fancy Program Objects and so it can be used as the system Java :)

Here is the short version:

Install the Innotek Java 1.42 and updates using eCSMT.
Download the Java 1.50_07 provided by SxWamp, extract somewhere.
Copy the java.exe, javaw.exe, & j2win.dll from the 1.42 JRE to the 1.50 JRE "bin" folder. Overwrite.
Test by making a program object to the Java.exe in the 1.50 BIN folder, and enjoy.
------------------------------------

Here are two screenshots showing a Java app I need for my Olympus M:robe running under the 1.42 and my hybridized 1.50 runtimes. Which would you rather use? :P

Edit: I have a sneaking suspicion I can push this concept further with newer JREs. I will begin testing anew.

Saijin_Naib

Damn, it (JRE 1.60.05) almost worked. The application will fail with this popuplog entry.

Hi Guys

I found jbidwatcher 2.x, Jajuk (Jukebox-Player), Jaolt (EBAY) and JIBS partly working. With jajuk i don´t know if sound is working ;D. And with jaolt I have problems in setting up a User, that i also have under WinDos. Jbidwatcher and jibs seems to be fully working.

On OS2.org Thomas Nolte said, that some Apps also working with Java 1.5.0_15, but i couldn´t get one to work.

I would love to see atunes working but this is strictly java 1.6, even the Mac OS X 10.4 (only 1.5) is outside the door.

Cheers.

Sander

Uh, not exactly original.  Andy Willis posted this several days ago.  That's what I was referring to in my post above, "the ability to use the Innotek wrapper is a MUCH appreciated, elegant solution."

Using his method, you cant use Java 1.50 as the System (Browser) JRE, only to run specific java apps by creating a specialized Program Object. What I did allows Java 1.50 to be the Java you use in firefox (I replaced my JAVA142 with my new JRE5 one).

Sure, its not original. In fact, its very derivative, but it works for what I want it to, and maybe someone else will find using Java 1.50 in the browser useful too  ::)
