Keith,

Unfortunately Java 1.5 is not supported and will not run on
OpenServer 5.0.6. If you want to run Java 1.5 programs
you will need to upgrade to OpenServer 6.0.0.

Thanks John - But I'm afraid that the upgrade won't be happening for a
while though which is why I wanted to get it working on 5.0.6.

While not impossible, Here's where you could start
http://download.java.net/tiger/

What you will need is a working 1.4.4 JRE
and stuff like GNU make, Motif headers and libs, ODBC, and of course GCC

AFAIK there is no real reason given enough time or experience to get this to work.

ON THE OTHER HAND

you may be able leverage lxrun to run linux java binaries.
