LimeWire will currently NOT run within the Java 1.4.1 preview environment on Mac OS X. Even if you've installed 1.4.1, LimeWire will run in the 1.3.1 environment.

With earlier versions of LimeWire and the 1.4.1 Java preview, LimeWire would begin loading in the 1.4.1 environment and fail. With current versions of either, 1.3.1 is used.

Changes in Apple's Java runtime library are at the root of the problem. LimeWire will need some changes if it is to run under 1.4.1 on Mac OS X and provide proper OS integration.

It _is_ possible to run LimeWire under the 1.4.1 preview on Mac OS X by modifying LimeWire slightly to disable all Mac-specific code. This yields a "metal"-themed LimeWire with no OS integration, and as of the current 1.4.1 preview (DP10), is actually _less_ stable than running LimeWire under 1.3.1.
