Despite being a Ruby shop, we do have our hands in some Java issues...

Ask for Help

"Anyone know of a good Rhino Javascript book?" (He was looking for more information on the Javascript implementation using Java and related information)

Nope :(.

"What is the status of finding out how to sandbox Java"

Still in progress.

Interesting

Changing the Java version from 1.5 to 1.6 in Mac OSX is painful.

  • It may be tempting to manually install Java and then just change the link (in some file called "a"), but this is wrong and spits out warnings.

  • Most options can be set using:

    /Applications/Utilities/Java\ Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/Java\ Preferences

and then setting $JAVA_HOME is up to you.
