MRJ SDK

Post by Silent Flamer »

This is not related to emulation, but is related to Macintoshes in general.

I have an iBook G3 with Mac OS 9.2.2 (can access the internet, has 64mb RAM), and I have Apple's MRJ installed. I'm trying to learn Java and compile programs on my iBook, but I would need the MRJ SDK, which I cannot find. I've looked all over the web for it, and all I can find is either the MRJ only or the MRJ Redistributable SDK, neither of which have the programmers tools.

I've seen some forum topics where some people managed to find the MRJ SDK, but they gave no links. There has been some hints of it being available in Apple's FTP archives, but those archives have already been taken down, and I can't find any mirrors.

The Apple Support Area (http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/) only has the MRJ, not the SDK. Any ideas? Maybe another Java SDK I could find for Mac OS 9? Or if somebody found a working link for the MRJ SDK? Maybe if someone here has a copy of the SDK that I could borrow?

For the sake of your sanity, you don't want to learn Java pre-1.4

Yes, thank you, that's what I was searching for. Never thought Norwegians would have it...

How did you find this, however? I was sure I searched every corner for it, and I still couldn't find it.

Anyways, again, many thanks.

*EDIT* I'll go upload this to the Macintosh Garden so other people like me can find it.

And, I'm tinkering with pre-1.4 Java because I've learned Java 1.1 using this book that I bought not too far awhile ago. I also have the tutorials for the latest Java on my other laptop, but I'd prefer not to learn almost the same thing two times, even if I get a lot more benefits. Besides, at least I get to program on Mac OS 9 using the old Java.I

I can't retrace my steps exactly, but roughly it went like this:
Searching on "apple mrj sdk" revealed a link, which of course could not be downloaded as it referred to the old apple ftp site.
ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Developme ... DK.smi.bin

But then I knew the file was named "MRJ2.2.2_Redistribution_SDK.smi.bin". Now things became easy...
See here: http://download.ware.ru/mac/

Good luck,

Thanks again for the help, Cat_7. Sorry for the trouble.

But, yeah, all the Java SDKs I've played with, including this one, have some kind of problem.
Both Metrowerks' own Java SDK (I got it from CodeWarrior) and this SDK can't seem to handle events properly.
