Q: java 1.6

Hi there

My son likes to play the newest version of Minecraft on his PPC iMac. We need java 1.6 for that to work. On the machine the latest java version is 1.5. How can we update java to 1.6?

Thanks!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8), iMac G5 15" 1.8GHz

    Java 1.6 is only available for Intel Macs, not for PPC G5 iMacs.

     

    Update 10, 29 June 2011 - This release updates J2SE 5.0 to 1.5.0_30, and updates Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_26. J2SE 1.4.2 is no longer being updated to fix bugs or security issues and remains disabled by default in this update. Support for out-of-process Java applets on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard has been removed with this update.

    This release is only for Intel Macs running versions of Mac OS X 10.5. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1359

     

    and for Snow Leopard:

    Note: Java 1.6 for Leopard is 64 bit only, but for Snow Leopard it is available for both 32 and 64 bit.
