Our trusty 68040 Mac's will run Apples Java distribution MRJ 2.0 - which equates to JDK 1.3 as far as I know.
This version in theory can run Swing 1.0 and Swing 1.1, but I've struggled to install this. I've found Swing 1.1.1 distributions in hqx form, which decompress into a folder containing the swing distribution, but this is difficult to run as the versions I've seen are all setup for Windows so applet files '.html' are not recognised, and there is no easy way of configuring the class path.
Has anyone had any success with this?
I realise it will be 'slow' but I dont care - this is just for fun - and to get some software I wrote decades ago running on a Quadra again
