Java 1.5 for PPC

[mschoene]

I have been reading forums for hours and am confused.

Is it possible to get Java 1.5 for PPC?

If so, how, and also,

how do I get eclipse 3.1 installed as well?

The only how-to's seem to be for other architectures, not mine.

- Thanks

I don't believe that Java is supported for PPC Linux yet.

IBM created/started the PPC arch, and they have always had Java for the PPC. Also, Blackdown.org produces it for the PPC as well. 1.5.1 is in the works.

JDK 1.42 is available for PPC linux from IBM.

Here is a precompiled eclipse.. read and follow the direction on how to install it.

Sorry for the misinformation. I sit corrected. :mrgreen:

Ok I was able to successfully install IBM's Java. The sample tic-tac-toe app runs fine.

However is there a way so that Java apps will run inside of Firefox?

Nope. You need the Java plug-in for Firefox to display java applets. The alternative is to use Konqueror, since that doesn't rely on a Java plug-in and just requires the JVM to be installed.
