apple is making available the latest version of java along with today's new tiger release. as is the case for java 1.5 on windows, it's fully unsupported and not recommended. a little more info on the platforms section of the faq: http://processing.org/faq/platforms.html

and further, if you're using the video library, install quicktime 7 at your own risk. i've got no idea if it's gonna break things.. the last couple updates to quicktime did, but those were temporary aberrations. proceed with caution.

Tiger (osx) doesn't ship with tiger (java), ben. It'll be released later as an update. Here's some info:

Code:
webreakstuff:~ fred$ java -version
java version "1.4.2_07"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_07-215)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-50, mixed mode)


I had some problems with p55/video and qt7 in a previous tiger build, but i'll try it out in the final that i'm running now and report back. Meanwhile, people should disregard that java1.5 warning for mac, because there isn't such thing (yet).

Ah! My bad. I somehow thought you were talking about 1.5 being installed by default.

happily it looks like 1.4 remains the default, and you have to specifically ask for 1.5 for an app to start up with that, but the docs i read were short on details so that could be wrong. i think p5 is set to use "1.4+" so y'all will have to let me know if it starts up in 1.5 or 1.4.

or maybe this will be a good excuse to get that mini...

Okay, I installed to check it out and it doen't mess with processing.

"System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.version"));" returns our good old 1.4.2_07, even with processing using 1.4 or above.

/Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE 5.0/Java Preferences.app allows you to change the order on which the two installed JREs are called (in my case, 1.4.2_07 and 1.5.0), which would allow someone who needs 1.5 support to configure it, or in the case of processing, change to 1.5 when support for it is complete.

as far as i know, 1.4.2_07 is tiger-only as well.. 1.4.2_05 seems to be the latest that you can currently get for 10.3 (at least from sw update). i wonder if they'll backport the changes for 10.3.
