help! Java 1.5 on Lion

[greenhat1]

FYI, should you need to install Java 1.4 on Lion, the process is similar. You will need to use Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4 instead of Update 10 though.

Followed this procedure for 1.4.2 (http://www.s-seven.net/java_15_lion) , used the proper Update(4). Still cant get 1.4.2 to run on Lion.. I keep getting this error whenever I try to run my application:

"** ATTENTION ***

Please Attach Debugger : No Autorelease pool exists
Press any key to continue..."


Was able to install 1.5 without any issues following the above procedure. But, I really need the 1.4.2.

The Info.plist file is not exactly the same format in 1.4.2 .. These fields don't exist:

<key>JVMMaximumFrameworkVersion</key>

<key>JVMMaximumSystemVersion</key>


I tried creating them in similar locations , but it didn't help much.. Has anyone been successful here? I've exhausted all ideas.. Please help!

This is very sadistic of Apple...there are people out there depending on java 1.5, why apple decided to withdraw all support for previous versions of java I really don't get it.

Shouldn't Oracle be the one that provides Java support for the OS, no matter what OS it is, rather than the OS supporting Java. Microsoft Windows and Linux does not support Java instead Oracle is the one that provides Java support for those operating systems.
