Re: Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 5 Developer Preview (9M3092)

Hello.

You can install another copy of Mac OS X to external (preferable  
FireWire) disk. Or if you need, you can virtualize Mac OS X Server in  
some virtualization app. I can afford install dev Java on my computer,  
becuase it is only my private machine. I think Apple would agree with  
virtualization of common Mac OS X (not only Server). Many developers  
will be happy (not even Java folks).
