Life In 19x19

Hi, if anyone can help me I would appreciate it.

Not long ago I upgraded my MacBook Pro to High Sierra. One thing that happened is that GoWrite ceased to work. Apparently it needs a special Java 6 version supplied by Apple to work. So I installed that. As a result, GoWrite works fine, but other Java programs don't work. I suppose that there are workarounds, but Sun and Apple don't seem to play well together.

Thanks.

There are some tools that allow you to install multiple versions of Java on an OS X machine. I haven't used a Mac as my primary computer in quite a while so I'm not super well versed in which one is easiest, but the answer at this post that mentions Homebrew and jenv looks promising. There are additional links in that post that walk through the installation process step-by-step, but it does demand some level of comfort with the command line.

Thanks muchly. Command line OK, Unix, quien sabe?

Dont tell me: Other java programms = Lizzie?

This script seems to work for me, with Java 8, because I'm a rogue who doesn't always believe people who test versions in their apps and say 'no later than this.'

#!/bin/sh
JAVAROOT=/Applications/GOWrite.app/Contents/Resources/Java
java -classpath "$JAVAROOT/GOWrite.jar:$JAVAROOT/GOWriteStd.jar:$JAVAROOT/h2.jar;$JAVAROOT/jh.jar:$JAVAROOT/swing-layout-1.0.3.jar:$JAVAROOT/GOWriteHelp.jar:$JAVAROOT/GOWriteHelp_ja.jar" GOWrite2

Thanks, Calvin.

I'll give her a try.
