Well, I found and downloaded Java 1.7 Beta for PPC and hoped I could get it to work on my G4 PPC. I want to run the Nightly version of jD because it has a plugin for a new host that I subscribed to.

After decompressing the Java 1.7 Beta tar.gz archive, I changed the folder name (merely to simplify it) and then placed it in I believe my usr/local directory.

Then I went in with Terminal to set the Export Path variables. Unless I did that wrong, it was a pretty straightforward command.

After I did so, I ran the Terminal command: java -version.

Unfortunately, when it looked at the usr/local/java1.7-macppc/bin folder, it came back with something like the following:

"couldn't locate executable in folder..."

the "Java" executable was in that folder, so I don't know what to think.

Anyone have any suggestions? drbits? Statter? Any Mac hounds out there?
