J2SE 5.0

BlueJ & J2SE5.0 on Mac OS X

1. Get Java 5.

Downoad Java 5 for Tiger from Apple. Install it in the usual way.

2. Make Java 5 the default

The Java 5 installer adds a new utility to your system, called 'Java Preferences'. It is in /Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE 5.0/Java Preferences.

Start this utility. In the section titled Java Application Runtime Settings, drag J2SE 5.0 to the top of the list of supported versions. Save, and you're done.

BlueJ now uses Java 5. You can, of course, reverse your choice in the same way.
