sun seems to have broken a handful of things in java 1.5, leading us to
discourage its use with processing.

it's also only available as an optional install on mac os x tiger, meaning
that as of this writing, not many people are using it.

this bug item can be used to track any issues, or refer to other bugs
related to java 1.5 support.

Shalom,

If you navigate to http://java.com , and try to download java, it'll ask you to
download "Java Runtime Environment Version 5.0 Update 6"

and write:

"You've chosen to download the 5.0 version of the Java Runtime Environment.
(filesize: 90 KB)"

Since the Processing applet directs to java.com , this means that every new
installation of Java will be Java 1.5. I have a probelm showing texture on a terrain
generated (using quads) with Processing. When used with Java 1.5, the landscape is
black instead of showing the texture.

Is this bug a known bug, or did I miss something?

Many thanks,
Yoav.

can you file a new bug and attach the sketch to it so that we can debug it
and see what's going on? use tools -> archive sketch, then attach it using
"create a new attachment". that way we can track it specifically.

edit]
terrain code. buggy on Java 1.5

but you're sure this works with java 1.4? using openStream("../../" is
likely to cause problems because it has no way of really supporting URLs so
at first glance it looks like there might be errors in the code.

have you looked at the output of the java console (detailed in the faq
under applet problems) to see what it gives you when running as an applet?

Yes... this did correct everything. I am sorry I bothered you. It did work on 1.4 when
I ran it. I thought the errors were only since the compilation is local.
(Here's a temporary test: http://amudanan.com/tests/applet )
Thanks again for your help, and for creating Processing,
Yoav.

let's no longer use this bug for tracking individual issues, but it can be
referred to as a general pointer for 1.5 stuff..

so for other readers of this bug:

if you have a problem with java 1.5, please file a new bug related to the
specific issue. once it has been confirmed as being related to java 1.5, it
will be added as an additional reference from here.

and for those who want more information about the status of 1.5 support,
you can add yourself to the cc list on this bug.

closing this as a bug... doing the catch-all bug reports isn't a good idea.
