Is this the same as those distributed on Sun's website? I need this to debug my Java applications.

    /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/XXX/Home/src.jar



    You'll need the appropriate developer tools installed first.

    I looked at my JavaVM.framework directory, and the only "src.jar" I find there is under the Versions/1.3.1 folder. I'm currently running 1.4.2, and I don't see any src.jar under there.



    Help appreciated,

    Eric

    You need to install the Developer tools package. You can get it from http://connect.apple.com/ (the free online membership should do the trick).

    Update 1 should work fine. There isn't a Dev Tool installer for update 2.

    Ok... one last question... so if I currently have update 2 run-time installed, how do I revert back to update 1 dev tools? Since according to Apple's release note (http://developer.apple.com/releaseno...lementID_29514)



    "Once you have installed Java 1.4.2 Update 2, the only way to revert back to a previous version of Java is to reinstall Mac OS X version 10.3 (Panther)."



    I certainly don't want to reinstall Panther.

    Install the update 1 dev tools over update 2, it'll work fine.
