MRJ 2.2.3

[silvercreekvalley]

I've been looking for an installer for MRJ 2.2.3 (Java for MacOS) for a looooong time without much success. I missed this update at the time so dont have it archived.

I've found 2.2.2 and the later versions 2.2.4 and 2.2.6, but 2.2.3 is the last version to run on MacOS 8.6 as far as I know.

I'm working on a nice little Java app and would like to have it running on these older MacOS boxes. It runs fine on equivalent systems (cpu/graphics).

Tried all the usual places but no luck :/

PS. I realise this is very old Java etc, but that's the point with this project - how old can I go ?

looked through wayback... 2.2.3 doesn't appear to have been archived unfortunately.



that being said, it looks like 2.2.4/2.2.5 will also run on 8.6.

Great thanks. I'll give those a try. I didnt realise 2.2.4/2.2.5 would run on 8.6.

I found a workaround to get the app running on MRJ 2.2, now just got to do rather a lot of performance tweaks ;-)

I’ll have a look on old magazine cds, they tended to include those kinds of updates. I used a version of MRJ from around that time.
