Updating Java without OS X Upgrade
im running my AMD Hackintosh on 10.5.2 and i dont want to go through all the hassel of trying to upgrade it to the latest version of OS X until i upgrade my computer at which time i will be also reformatting my disks. However some of the software im trying to install doesnt work because i have out of date Java software and whenever i try to update my Java it tells me i need to upgrade to the latest version of OS X, is there any way of getting around this?

Cheers

i don't think u can.

its not that simple. permissions and file ownership will not be correct for most (if not all) of the files.

you can pull the distribution file with Pacifist then open it with Text Edit or BBEdit (better) and look for the section
Quote:
if( system.compareVersions(system.version.ProductVersi on, "10.5.4") < 0)
{
my.result.message = system.localizedStringWithFormat('VC_Version_messa ge', '10.5.4');
my.result.type = 'MustNotUpgrade';
return false;
edit this to show

if( system.compareVersions(system.version.ProductVersi on, "10.5.1") < 0)
{
my.result.message = system.localizedStringWithFormat('VC_Version_messa ge', '10.5.1');
my.result.type = 'MustNotUpgrade';
return false;
Now repackage and install. for more info on how to do this, I'd recommend:
