macOS: The Most Difficult Scenario

Apple’s Java 1.4.0 was part of Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) and 10.3 (Panther). It never ran on Intel Macs natively. For modern Mac users:

Install Parallels Desktop or UTM.
Run Mac OS X 10.3 Panther in emulation (PowerPC).
Use Apple’s legacy Java package (no longer downloadable from Apple; available via Macintosh Garden archives).

Most developers instead cross-compile on a Linux VM.
