WAS Sneak Preview & JVM > 1.3.1_08

[Former Member]

I have installed (successfully) the WAS 6.3 sneak preview. However, I am developing a program that uses some classes that are new with Java 1.4.2. I can get these compiled OK with the sneak prview, but cannot execute them. (I have installed JVM 1.3.1_08).

Can install a new Eclipse version on top of the sneak preview? If so, do I need to install the JVM for 1.4.2? The 1.4.2 JDK?

I need some detailed installation instructions to get all this done. Can anyone help?

You will not be able to run a Java 1.4.2 application under WAS 6.30 sneek preview, only Java 1.3.1_07 is supported!

The newest Version (Beta 5 I guess) supports J2SE 1.4.2, but you cannot download it yet. You will have to wait for that, or you need to change your code that it fits Java 1.3.1

Thanks, Christoph.

BTW, I am using sneak preview with 1.3.1_08. I believe that it was with 1.3.1_09 that the problems crept in.

uninstall Java and sneak preview edition, then reinstall WAS6.3 which also installs JVM 1.3.1_07

Hope this helps

Not sure what that will do for me... I need to use 1.4.2 JVM to run programs that compile using 1.4.2 classes. WAS6.3 barfs when I install the 1.4.2 JVM. Or am I missing somehting easy here?

Can you explain a little more how I can do what I want?
