I'm working on a music OCR system implemented in Java. It already runs
on x86 Windows/Linux/Mac OS X x86. I would like to support older Macs as
well but I don't manage to compile Java at all.
This application doesn't rely on high-performance graphics. It relies on
specific Java 1.6 features and therefore doesn't run with any older
version...

Ok, I would give it a try. I'm afraid Leopard won't work. Should I try
any PPC-bsd-based Linux distribution?

Best regards
