I encountered a very tricky problem in my RCP application. The problem is I used System.console().readLine() in the class I extended from IAppliation. I got input/output error on MAC. The problem only occurred on mac, on other system works fine.

I have also tried use system.in, failed as well. But I tested in a simple java class, it worked fine.

Any help will be appreciated! Thanks!

Code as following:
import java.io.Console;

import org.eclipse.equinox.app.IApplication;
import org.eclipse.equinox.app.IApplicationContext;

public class CustomWizardApplication implements IApplication {

public Object start(IApplicationContext context) throws Exception {
// BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
// String userInput = reader.readLine(); //got input/output error

Console con = System.console();
String userInput1 = con.readLine(); //got input/output error

return IApplication.EXIT_OK;
}

public void stop() {
}

}
