Before developing with Java 1.4.1 on Mac OS X, it is important to note a few basic details:
The Java version is 1.4.1_01.
The Java 1.4.1 runtime environment requires Mac OS X version 10.2.3 or later.
Java 1.4.1 is not included as a part of Mac OS X by default. If you are writing Java 1.4.1 applications remember that users will need to download Java 1.4.1 from Apple before they can use your application. They may do this through the Software Update pane of System Preferences or manually from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/. Apple does not provide redistribution licenses for the Java 1.4.1 implementation.
The Java 1.4.1 Developer Package requires the December 2002 version of the Mac OS X Developer Tools to be installed. Both the Java 1.4.1 Developer Package and the December 2002 Mac OS X Developer Tools are available online at http://connect.apple.com.
