Re: support for IDV 1.2 on MacOS X 10.4

I am running the IDV on my Mac (10.4.2) BUT with java 1.4. I checked
with the developers when the Apple update to 1.5 came out. They
confirmed and it is listed on the link that Tom sent you IDV does
not work with 1.5.

Not sure how hard it will be, but you will need to back out of java
1.5  to 1.4.whatever.
