Java classpath in Cocoa

Question

Hi ,

I am developing an application in cocoa which uses some java classes .I need to set the app point to

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0

instead of:

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK.

Is it possible to do this..

Thanks in advance

Not a solution, just wanted to point out that your problem (which is I guess that your app does not run with Java6, but needs Java5) may be bigger than you think, because on Snow Leopard, these two directories are the same:

$ ls -la /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/
total 64
drwxr-xr-x  13 root  wheel  442 Dec  5 12:16 .
drwxr-xr-x  12 root  wheel  408 Dec  5 12:16 ..
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel    5 Dec  5 12:15 1.3 -> 1.3.1
drwxr-xr-x   3 root  wheel  102 Jul 21  2009 1.3.1
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel   10 Dec  5 12:15 1.4 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel   10 Dec  5 12:15 1.4.2 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel   10 Dec  5 12:15 1.5 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel   10 Dec  5 12:15 1.5.0 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel    5 Dec  5 12:15 1.6 -> 1.6.0
drwxr-xr-x   8 root  wheel  272 Oct 19 10:54 1.6.0
drwxr-xr-x   9 root  wheel  306 Dec  5 12:16 A
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel    1 Dec  5 12:15 Current -> A
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel    3 Dec  5 12:15 CurrentJDK -> 1.6

It does seem possible, though, to copy the real Java5 over from a 10.5 installation.
