MRJ 2.0 is Now Available!

MRJ 2.0, Apple’s Mac OS implementation of Sun’s JDK 1.1.3 Java virtual
machine, is now available from the software downloading page

download and install this version immediately to gain the advantages
provided by all the latest Java features it incorporates. We believe MRJ
2.0 to be the first virtual machine, other than Sun’s, to pass all required
Sun conformancy tests for JDK 1.1.
