JSE 6 needed for the next major version of the Mac SAPgui

Apple has a developers' preview version JSE 6, but they don't yet support it. Hence, the Mac version of the Java SAPgui doesn't yet use JSE 6, even though the Java SAPgui on other platforms does use JSE 6. It is likely that by the time of SAP's next major release of the Java SAPgui, Apple will support JSE 6 and the Mac SAPgui will require it.
Currently Apple's implementation of JSE 6 requires a 64-bit Intel processor running Leopard. If this remains true in Apple's final release of JSE 6, then the next major release of the Mac SAPgui won't run on any MacOS X prior to Leopard and won't run on PowerPC or 32-bit Intel based Macs even with Leopard.
I'm told that Sun has both 32-bit and 64-bit JSE 6 JVMs for Windows, for Linux, and for Solaris.
My organization (MIT) has submitted a bug report to Apple about this. It is possible that Apple might pay more attention if a number of their customers made a joint request.
If your organization would be interested in joining such a joint request to Apple to support JSE 6 on (at least) all supported Leopard platforms, please let me know.
Thanks.

Here is the current situation with respect to SAP's Mac JavaGui and
Apple's Java SE 6, as I understand it:
a. The SAPgui for Java 7.20 is planned for the fourth quarter of
   calendar 2008.
b. SAP's support for the SAPgui for Java 7.10 is planned to end on
   31-Dec-2008.
c. The Mac SAPgui for Java 7.20 will be able to use Java SE 6.
d. SAP has not yet decided whether the Mac SAPgui for Java 7.20 will
   also be able to use an earlier version of Java (i.e. J2SE 5.0).
e. Apple's Java SE 6 is only available for Mac OS X 10.5.2 and later
   on 64-bit Intel-based Macs (not PowerPC-based or 32-bit Intel-based
   Macs). Apple has not mentioned any plans to support Java SE 6 on
   any PowerPC-based or 32-bit Intel-based Macs or any Macs running
   Tiger, although there is a possibility that Apple might announce
   support for some of those platforms at their upcoming Worldwide
   Developers Conference (June 9-13, 2008, in San Francisco).
f. Sun has both 32-bit and 64-bit JSE 6 JVMs for Windows, for Linux,
   and for Solaris.
g. The last PowerPC-based Macs (Power Mac G5) were sold in August 2006
   and the last 32-bit Intel-based Macs (Mac mini) were sold in August
   2007.
h. Assuming that the Mac SAPgui for Java 7.20 will require Java SE 6
   and Apple doesn't extend their support of Java SE 6 to other
   platforms, then as of 1-Jan-2009, you won't be able to run an
   SAP-supported version of the Mac SAPgui for Java on PowerPc Macs
   bought as recently as August 2006 or 32-bit Intel Macs bought as
   recently as August 2007 or on any Macintosh running Tiger.

  • How to prevent upgrade to next major version

    What is the standard practice to make sure a JDK or JRE doesn't upgrade beyond the current major version? I suspect the default behavior upgrades to the next major version?
    Because of issues with SSL, I need to prevent some deployments from upgrading to JDK1.6.

  • Is their roadmap for the next major release of Netweaver stack?

    In the ERP area, I found this link that mentions a roadmap for mySAP ERP2005 and beyond.
    Is there a corresponding "beyond NW04s" roadmap? Or is the next major release of Netweaver targeted for 2010 as is the next major mySAP ERP release mentioned in the above mentioned roadmap?
    <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/5bd723c2-0d01-0010-97a5-cb14fe7f2810">mySAP ERP2005 roadmap and beyond</a>

    Tobi,  I can't go too far into it, but I can assure you that the next major release of Netweaver will not be in 2010.  The idea is that you will be able to upgrade your Netweaver layer without upgrading the core(ECC).  That means that you can stay current with technology while your business stays the same.  So there will be Netweaver releases every so often before 2010.

  • I have an older version of imovie.  After I change the photos using the Ken Burns effect and save them, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' to change the zoom, the picture appears black and I can't change the zoom?

    I have a five year old version of imovie that generally works fine.  However, when I add a photo using the 'Ken Burns' effect then save the movie, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' the picture appears black and I cannot change the zoom.  Any suggestions?

    Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
    Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
    See here:
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
    Let us know how that works for you.

    Just edited 20 film in FCPx all about 6 mins long all on 1 x 250gb flash drive
    Now i have another 10 to do but have no room on that drive.
    So i have been using my new 2tb drive to do the next 10 films with the footage on that drive, but i need elements from the first 20 films ie; graphics, common film elements etc to be added to the new 10 films.
    So I have copied all the footage, events and project folders from the 20 edited films over to my 2tb drive in a separate folder - ejected the 250gb drive (as i only have 2 thunderbolt slots and one is used for a 27 inch monitor on my macbook pro)
    .......my question is how do i load all of the 20 films into my project library so i can see all of the 30 films at once so i can copy and paste form one film to another - is this possible? and withlout messing up lol

    // any reason, why you color your post to 'invisible' low contrasted colors?? //
    I'm confused:
    by concept, there's Events and there's Projects.
    Events and Projects can be internal or on any ext. drive.
    You can use any Event in any Project.
    … so, why is the 'location' of your files on any relevance for your Projects ??
    Or, do you want to re-import done-Projects as 'Events'? Export,Import, done… (??)

  • Possible to set CacheSize for the single-JVM version of the data cache?

    Hi -
    I'm using Kodo 2.3.2.
    Can I set the size for the data cache when I'm using a subclass of the single-JVM version of the
    data cache? Or is this only a feature for the distributed version?
    Here are more details...
    I'm using a subclass of LocalCache so I can display the cache contents.
    The kodo.properties contains these lines:
    com.solarmetric.kodo.DataCacheClass=com.siemens.financial.jdoprototype.app.TntLocalCache
    com.solarmetric.kodo.DataCacheProperties=CacheSize=10
    When my test program starts, it displays getConfiguration().getDataCacheProperties() and the value
    is displayed as "CacheSize=10".
    But when I load 25 objects by OID and display the contents of the cache, I see that all the objects
    have been cached (not just 10). Can you shed light on this?
    Thanks,
    Les

    The actual size of the cache is a bit more complex than just the CacheSize
    setting. The CacheSize is the number of hard references to maintain in the
    cache. So, the most-recently-used 10 elements will have hard refs to them,
    and the other 15 will be moved to a SoftValueCache. Soft references are not
    garbage-collected immediately, so you might see the cache size remain at
    25 until you run out of memory. (The JVM has a good deal of flexibility in
    how it implements soft references. The theory is that soft refs should stay
    around until absolutely necessary, but many JVMs treat them the same as
    weak refs.)
    Additionally, pinning objects into the cache has an impact on the cache
    size. Pinned objects do not count against the cache size. So, if you have
    15 pinned objects, the cache size could be 25 even if there are no soft
    references being maintained.

    No, it's not under heavy development, it is almost complete. The only missing part is the "dalayed allocation". The on-disk format, as I've already said, shouldn't change anymore.
    With this patch series, it is expected that ext4 format should be settling
    down.  We still have delayed allocation and online defrag which aren't
    quite ready to merge, but those shouldn't affect the on-disk format.

    If you read this carefully, you don't want to use ext4 just now. You also should consider that ext4 is virtually untested compared to filesystems like ext3 which has been used for years in many production environments. I wouldn't read "I don't expect any other on-disk format changes" as "There will be no more changes" if I had important data.

    I remembered some filesystems were "built-in". Evidently I remember wrong (well... and I remember the filesystem for the root partition had to be built into the kernel, but my knowledge on this point is not very updated).
    You're so 90's. If we would build everything into the kernel that everyone needed to boot, it would be 5MB or 10MB instead of just 2MB. Everything is as modular as possible now (there are some exceptions which should be ironed out in one of the next releases).
