Would deployment of JAVA 6 r.t. 7 support RETINA display in OSX?

Posted 08 November 2013 - 07:05 AM

Hello, I write in JAVA 7 on OSX.
There's also JAVA 6 installed from APPLE.
Would going back to 6 help me with Retina support on the MacBook or not.
As a matter of fact I CAN go back as I did not use all the new features of 7.
;JOOP!

You should uninstall the earlier version as it's insecure

I am EE genius indeed.

Some problems have been found in the browser plugins of some older JAVA
releases. As I deploy the JVM I have noting to do with it.
So, can anybody please answer my question?
No answer is OK.

Greetings back.
You are excused.
I worked 35 years in automation, became EE Genius in 7.5 years,
then I got that ugly Genius T-shirt and decided to stop
and spend my time on something else; for instance on my retirement.
Still I program for myself and I feel totally obsolete in this world.
I struggle to move from XP/7 to OSX ML but ... you've seen one problem already.
;JOOP!

Well, had a talk with some APPLE expert (?!?) and he said 6 will be dropped as well.
Best is to stick to 7 and be patient.
I am.
All the best.

CEHJ, I get emails from EE almost twice a week, telling me that I earned a new degree and/or telling me to order for a new T-shirt.
Did you get any?
