There's the solution then. Must admit when I was trying to run Java6 source is was JXTA on an ARM in an embedded system. There were just too many issues for me to even bother with it. OpenJDK might be worth looking at in future but thankfully I'm no longer working on JXTA.

Re: [OSM-talk] End of road for JOSM on OS X for ppc
I have tried to compile OpenJDK6 under Darwin development environment in Mac OS X 10.5 Intel, but it doesn't execute JOSM correctly. I have problems opening JOSM, none of my plugins execute. I don't know if this is something with OpenJDK or with the plugins. It would be best if Apple got an official Sun JDK6 release, as Sun only points to apple when trying to download Java. I am temporarily solving the problem with running last Java5 release of JOSM, but understand that this is only a temporary solution brgds Aun Johnsen On 16/09/2010, at 10:54, Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason wrote: On Thu, Sep 16, 2010 at 12:41, Peteris Krisjanis wrote: 2010/9/16 Arigead : Renaud MICHEL wrote: Le mardi 14 septembre 2010 à 16:32, Arigead a écrit : Don't think that changing the OS to Ubuntu will make any difference.

For any fundamental changes like new killer features or a change to API 0.7, it should be possible to port that back to JOSM 3376 / Java 5.

Not an official port, no, but there's this: http://landonf.bikemonkey.org/static/soylatte/ I don't know about PPC, but I just got it working on Mac OSX 10.4 Tiger on Intel. I installed soylatte, set the PATH and JAVA_HOME variables, and was able to run it. You need to open X11 first and run josm from the X11 term window, but it then works fine. - Alan ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

One thing you could do to run newer versions of JOSM is to install Ubuntu or Debian on the machine and dual-boot it. Heh, yes, but I don't really need to do that, since I have a few workstations and a netbook, all Ubuntu machines. You might also try to contact apple and complain about their product philosophy. Yeah, but to be fair, Apple has actually done quite a lot to keep old hardware and software working. When moving from the M68K platform to PPC, they supported the older architecture for years. When moving to OS X, they supported OS9 via an emulator for years; the support of that emulator stopped with OS 10.5. The Intel transition happened in June 2006, four years ago, and so I grant you that giving up on the PPC for OS X 10.6 so soon is quite disappointing for Apple customers, especially given the fact that Apple hardware is very durable. My Powerbook from 2005 still looks great, I am happy with it, and has had no serious problems other than a hard-drive faiure a couple of years ago. Of course, it's not like my laptop suddenly stops working, however I will be seeing more and more problems like this, upgrading software. At some point, I will need new hardware. If that is in 2 years time, I will have gotten 7 useful years out of my purchase, which is not too bad. There are other things I would much rather criticise Apple for; this is obviously the extremely closed nature of their iPhone/iPad platform, and I would never buy that hardware. This is stated by someone who has been an Apple fanboy/owner since 1985...
