jCVS on the Macintosh

For general jCVS information, go up to our jCVS page.

jCVS is said to run nicely with the latest alpha release of Apple's Java runtime environment (MRJ 2.0ea7 not 2.0ea6). This runtime apparently was expected to be publicly available in December, 1997.

From Hauke Fath's post to comp.software.config-mgmt on 24 Nov 1997:

There is nothing special to setting things up other than customizing "Properties.txt" (use the tag "Mac_OS" for OS specific stuff).

You can either use hard-coded paths for the tmp dir, editor etc. or use aliases.
