Update: you can get the files from Apple by following the instructions I posted at http://chxor.chxo.com/post/183013153/installing-java-1-5-on-snow-leopard

Many thanks for this info, I love ZDE 5.5 and hope it never breaks irreparably. It works in ways that are both different and better than either Komodo or the Eclipse-based Zend Studios. Maybe someday we can convince Zend to release the source code and carry it forward as a community-supported IDE.

For those of us missing wget, you can use curl, like:

curl http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/isdal/sn~ow_leopard_workaround/java.1.5.0-leopard.tar.gz -o java.1.5.0-leopard.tar.gz

However, the file seems to have been taken down. It must be available from Apple somehow?

Aaaaaammmmazing!
I got there in the end – I had a corrupt version of 1.5 somehow. However a restart seemed to complete remove that and that I went through the process again and hey presto!

Thanks soo much, now I can go back to coding much faster

Brilliant description. Thank you. This works perfectly, till I found a new IDE it fits like 5.5.

Apparently some macs don’t have wget. Just download it through Safari with right click > save target file as, then in the Terminal, cd /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Downloads and go from the `tar` command.

Brilliant. I was pulling my hair out after the upgrade to Snow Leopard. I’m so pleased I found this page – it worked straight away (although I don’t have wget on my Mac, not sure why). Thanks for posting this.

It’s possible I’m being really stupid but I can’t get past line 2 of the first stage.
In Terminal I get -bash: wget: command not found

Perfect!

Thanks for sharing the solution… i was going crazy trying to use Komodo Edit (nothing wrong with it, i’ve just been using ZDE 5.x since 2004)
