Hello,Of course it switches... The Apple JVM is based on OS X technologies, not X11. And quite frankly, it wouldn't make any sense to base it on X11 as you only would add a nother layer of indirection: Swing using X11 windows to display its windows, which in turn would use Cocoa Windows to display...
I have been currently using Fink 0.4.1 with OS X 10.1.5. It is great !
My concern is about the java jvm. One of the reason why I am using OS X over linux ppc is because of its superior jvm (JIT is not available on linux for ppc).
Unfortunately, many java applications cannot deal with the apple menu bar. That makes the gui looks quite unconfortable. I would indeed prefer to get all my java applications running on X11. Unfortunately when I start them from Fink its switches to the Aqua Desktop automatically.
You can change the default look and feel of Swing back to the metal variant (the default swing look and feel). Try googling for "javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel"I am not quite found of the Aqua look anyway.
So if I could get everything running on Darwin and X11 that would be really nice. Upgrading to Jaguar is anyway far too expensive.No. Apple's JVM is owned by Apple, so not under the control of Fink. And AFAIK it isn't shipped with Darwin either.
So here is my question:
Can I get the apple jvm outside MacOS X. Will I get it if I upgrade to Darwin 6.0.2 and the upcoming Fink release.
