| MRJ 2.2.3 | |
| Posted by: silvercreekvalley on 2026-02-25 05:50:23 I've been looking for an installer for MRJ 2.2.3 (Java for MacOS) for a looooong time without much success. I missed this update at the time so dont have it archived. I've found 2.2.2 and the later versions 2.2.4 and 2.2.6, but 2.2.3 is the last version to run on MacOS 8.6 as far as I know. I'm working on a nice little Java app and would like to have it running on these older MacOS boxes. It runs fine on equivalent systems (cpu/graphics). Tried all the usual places but no luck :/ PS. I realise this is very old Java etc, but that's the point with this project - how old can I go ? | |
| Posted by: finkmac on 2026-02-25 06:01:09 looked through wayback... 2.2.3 doesn't appear to have been archived unfortunately.   that being said, it looks like 2.2.4/2.2.5 will also run on 8.6. apple dev ftp archive here relevant wayback archive | |
| Posted by: silvercreekvalley on 2026-02-25 11:57:56 Great thanks. I'll give those a try. I didnt realise 2.2.4/2.2.5 would run on 8.6. I found a workaround to get the app running on MRJ 2.2, now just got to do rather a lot of performance tweaks ;-) | |
| Posted by: Snial on 2026-02-25 12:07:26 I’ll have a look on old magazine cds, they tended to include those kinds of updates. I used a version of MRJ from around that time. | |

Is this it? https://ia803407.us.archive.org/vie...m.2012.11/download.info.apple.com.2012.11.zip (search 2.2.3) also here from the mirror you shared. https://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/misc.../English-International/Macintosh/System/Java/ | |
