Best Applications For Mac

Mac OS Runtime for Java (MRJ, originally Macintosh Runtime for Java) was Apple's proprietary virtual machine for Java-based applications in the classic Mac OS (i.e. versions prior to Mac OS X). Both a runtime environment and a software development kit (SDK) are available.

The runtime environment includes a JIT compiler developed by Symantec, the standard Java class library from Sun, additional classes providing Macintosh-specific functionality, and the Apple Applet Runner (a lightweight application for running Java applets without the overhead of a web browser). A number of web browsers could use MRJ to run Java applets in web pages, including MicrosoftInternet Explorer, iCab and HotJava.

The SDK includes ports of most of the tools from Sun's Java Development Kit (in the form of MPW tools and Macintosh applications), additional tools for packaging Java applications as double-clickable Macintosh applications, libraries for Macintosh-specific functionality, and documentation for the MRJ-specific classes and tools.

MRJ v2.2.5 was compatible with Sun's Java Development Kit version 1.1.8.[1]

Since the transition to Mac OS X, Apple has discontinued MRJ and instead maintains and distributes a port of Oracle'sHotSpot Java virtual machine.[citation needed]

Implementations[edit]

  • Java 1.0.2 with Mac OS Runtime for Java v 1.5.1 [1]
  • Java 2.2.6 with Mac OS Runtime for Java v 2.2.6 [2]

The Java packaging tools provide built-in support for several formats of self-contained application packages. The basic package is a single folder on your hard drive that includes all application resources and the JRE. The package can be redistributed as is, or you can build an installable package (for example, EXE or DMG format.)

From the standpoint of process, producing a self-contained application package is similar to producing a basic application package, with the following differences:

  • Self-contained application packages must be explicitly requested by passing the native argument to the <fx:deploy> Ant task or javapackager -deploy command.

  • Self-contained application packages must be built on the operating system on which it is intended to run. Prerequisite tools must be available to build a package in a specific format.

  • Self-contained application packages can only be built using JDK 7 Update 6 or later. The Java Packager for JDK 9 packages applications with a JDK 9 runtime image. To package a JDK 8 or JDK 7 JRE with your application, use the JDK 8 Java Packager.

While it is easy to create a basic self-contained application package, tailoring it to achieve the best user experience for a particular distribution method usually requires some effort and a deeper understanding of the topic.
