Since the MRJ is being incorporated with all future OS releases, this base will grow. These applications run on any Mac that has MRJ 1.0.2 installed.

In addition, JBindery encapsulates command-line arguments.Īre these really standalone? Mostly. Those developers who used tools other than MRJ might not be familiar with JBindery, a utility that lets you create double-clickable standalone Java applications. The recently released MRJ 1.5 also corresponds to JDK 1.0.2 and adds the JIT (just-in-time compiler) and the MRJ Toolkit. Here's the rundown: Apple's MRJ 1.0 corresponded to JDK 1.0.2 and includes JManager and JBindery. Apple's numbering system does not directly correspond to Sun's system for the JDK, which causes a bit of confusion. (See the Resources section for a link to this site.) What you may not know is how the version numbers match up to the JDK version numbers. As announced in JavaWorld last month, Apple has just upgraded its version of the Macintosh Runtime for Java (MRJ) from 1.02 to 1.5, and has made it available for download from the Apple Web site.
