VM Version

[Manish Hatwalne]

Does anyone know which JVM is supported for - Microsoft (R) VM for Java, 5.0
Release 5.0.0.3809 (IE 5.5 or 6)
I only have JDK 1.4 plugin on my machine so I am unable to detect it using -
System.getProperty("java.vm.version");
I'd be very greatful if somebody can let me know.

TIA,
- Manish

System.out.print("Operating System: " + System.getProperty("os.name") + " ");
System.out.println(System.getProperty("os.version") + " on " + System.getProperty("os.arch"));
System.out.println("User: " + System.getProperty("user.name") + " in " + System.getProperty("user.dir"));
}
}

Thanks alex, but this won't help!
Like I said, I *only* have JDK 1.4 on my macine and the plugin IE uses on my
machine is of 1.4, so VM I get is obviously 1.4, I want someone to compile
applet code with JDK 1.2 or sth and try it on IE 5.5 or 6 with default
microsoft VM (Microsoft (R) VM for Java, 5.0 Release 5.0.0.3809)
Or if somebody already knows which Java version it supports, pls do post it
here.

Thanks,

I believe all the Microsoft JVM's are 1.1.x, exactly which one
is going to depend on IE version. On my XP box with IE version:

6.00.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633

OK, I'm not kidding, seeing that version string is enough to
make me puke. Man, I hate Microsoft sometimes.

In any event, with this version of IE installed, I used jview
(the MS JVM command line tool) to dump out the system properties
and I get this:

[D:\src\java] jview Prop | grep version
java.version=1.1.4
os.version=5.1
java.class.version=45.3

My Prop class simply does a:

System.getProperties().list(System.out);

to dump the props.

Hope this helps.

Oh, and jview.exe has a version resource of 5.00.3810 if
that matters to you.

I know about -
System.getProperties().list(System.out);
In fact this is what I use to see properties for stand alone programs but as
you'd understand, it is not useful in my case.

Thanks a ton for reminding me about jview, I had competely forgotten abt
it.. That should solve my problem.

Thanks,
