Swing's MacOS L&F
It's Slimmer, Faster, and More Powerful
Creating Classic Mac Boot Floppies in OS X, Paul Brierley, The ‘Book Beat, 2008.08.07. Yes, it is possible to create a boot floppy for the Classic Mac OS using an OS X Mac that doesn’t have Classic. The misunderstood Macintosh Portable, Dan Knight, Mac Musings, 2009.01.19. Often ridiculed for its nearly 16 lb.

There's something for everyone in Swing 1.1 (now part of the JDK 1.2 core). For example, if you're an Apple Macintosh developer, you may be glad to hear there's a fully operational Macintosh look-and-feel implementation for Swing.

Swing's MacOS L&F was originally introduced in an early-access version available for download from the Java Developer Connection. Now, when you download Swing 1.1 using a Macintosh, you automatically get the new Swing MacOS package.

Swing's MacOS look and feel is designed to work only on Macintosh computers, in the same way that Swing's Windows L&F is intended to work only on computers running Windows. Because the MacOS Look and Feel runs only on MacOS systems, its archive is stored in a Macintosh format -- a stuffed-binhexed format that Stuffit Expander can open. The archive contains a mac.jar file and complete source code. For more details on this topic, see the item headed 'If it looks like a Mac and feels like a Mac' in the 911 column.

The Swing team encourages Mac developers to experiment with the new MacOS L&F and then to comment on it by sending e-mail to

The Mac L&F introduced with Swing 1.1 Beta is a complete rewrite of an earlier Mac L&F that was provided with Versions 1.0 through 1.0.2 of Swing. Gnome smasher mac os.

'The previous version suffered from some performance issues, and when the Swing plaf layer was overhauled, it was decided it would be easier to start from scratch,' explained Swing team member Steve Wilson, who helped develop the new Mac L&F. Early indications indicate that the new Mac look and feel is smaller, faster, and more robust than its predecessor, he added.

The following screen shot shows what the new Mac L&F looks like when it is displayed on a Macintosh computer:

You can obtain the new Swing look and feel by downloading it from the Java Software Developer Connection Web site, which is at
http://java.sun.com/jdc
To use the new Mac L&F, you'll need Version 1.1 Beta of Swing, which you can download from the same site. Also, you must add mac.jar to your classpath. Then add the following lines of code to your Swing-based application:


try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel
('com.sun.java.swing.plaf.mac.MacLookAndFeel');
} catch ( Exception e ) {
System.out.println ('Couldn't load Mac L&F' + e);

The Mac L&F and Apple's MRJ

Swing's new Mac look and feel has been tested with Macintosh OS Runtime for Java (MRJ), and with an early access release of MRJ 2.1. MRJ, implemented as a set of shared libraries and other system software files, lets users run Java applets and applications on PowerPC and 68040 computers running Mac OS 8.0 or later.

MRJ supports all the new Java features introduced in version 1.1 of Sun's core Java specification, including JavaBeans, internationalization, security and signed applets, the JAR file format, the Java math package, remote method invocation (RMI), object serialization, reflection, Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), inner classes, and the Java Native Interface (JNI).

You can download MRJ and the MRJ SDK from

You might not believe the cover from the November 1989 MacUser. They considered the Mac Portable so sexy it was photographed with a swimsuit model for the front cover! (Or maybe so unsexy it needed this treatment.)
When the Mac Portable was introduced, it had the same clock speed as the fastest prior Mac (it was introduced at the same time as the 25 MHz Mac IIci). At that time, many Mac users who needed a field computer were buying Compaq 286-based laptops with DOS 4.01 (and sometimes Windows 2.1).
It was portable, but it was no lightweight. The 16-17 pound Mac Portable never set the world on fire. It had a crystal clear 9.8″ 1-bit 640 x 400 pixel active matrix screen, a 16 MHz 68000 CPU, and a front-mounted handle (which doubled as a lock to keep the lid down). The best thing about the Portable was probably the up-to-10-hour lead-acid battery. (No memory effect!) Options included an internal modem and a numeric keypad or a trackball.
Color display? Aura Systems made ScuzzyGraph II, a SCSI peripheral that provided 8-color video for people who didn’t want to buy (or couldn’t afford) a Mac II. In 1989, ScuzzyGraph sold for $995 to $2,495 depending on resolution.
The Portable draws the same amount of power whether shut down or asleep, so it is generally best to put it to sleep unless it won’t be used again for several days.
Energy saving tricks include turning off the speaker, trying to open all your files at once to minimize disk access, using a RAM Disk, and putting the hard drive to sleep manually. Rumors to the contrary, it makes no difference at all in terms of energy use what desktop pattern you use.
The huge size and massive weight of the otherwise-impressive Portable make us call it a Limited Mac.
The Portable was the first Mac to ship with a preformatted hard drive (and the only portable Mac with a 3.5″ hard drive) and a preinstalled operating system. Along with the Mac IIci, it was one of the first Macs to user surface mount technology.

MacUser commented that this was “by far the most complex piece of machinery devised for sale by Apple computer” (Nov. 1989). Benchmarks showed it significantly faster than the 8 MHz Mac SE, and nearly as fast as the 16 MHz 68020-based Mac II on some tests.
Feel Gear Mac OS
The Portable was upgraded with a backlit screen; more, less-expensive RAM (2-4 MB standard); and a lower price in February 1991.
When buying a used Portable, be sure to get all the memory you need, since it’s difficult to come by nowadays, and don’t expect it to include a working battery. Bear in mind that the Portable only supports up to 9 MB of RAM and only functions in 24-bit mode. To get the most out of that memory, consider using RAM Charger 8.1, which offers better memory management than the Mac OS.
