Eclipse Scout on OS X Java 7 [message #1006987]

Hello, I am trying to run an Eclipse Scout app on Mac OS X.

While I can start the client with Java 6, following the hints on http://wiki.eclipse.org/Scout/Tutorial/Setup_a_New_Eclipse_Scout_Project, I am running into troubles with Oracle JDK 7 (jdk1.7.0_13, which is a must for our project). The Swing client simply does not start, also when playing with all the program/VM options.

I cannot add d32, since Java 7 is 64bit on OS X. Does Eclipse Scout support Java 7?

Thanks
Dan

Thank you for your response, Stephan. I managed to startup the Eclipse Scout client using

Program arguments:

-os ${target.os} -arch win32 -nl ${target.nl} -consoleLog --launcher.secondThread

VM:

-Xms40m -Xmx512m -Xdock:icon=../Resources/Eclipse.icns  -Xms64m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true

but I do not think it is a reliable solution using win32 on OS X Smile

That is unbelievable. How did you come up with this idea to change the arch argument to win32? Nice! But I want to know what this changes in the startup process. I'll dig deep and investigate. This can't be the workaround and certainly not the "solution".

Thanks and you hear from me.

Greetings Stephan

See comment: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=212617#c21
It seems to me, that the binary for the 64bit equinox launcher has the bug. It works fine with these program arguments: -os ${target.os} -arch x86 -ws {target.ws} -nl ${target.nl}

So "x86" is a little less funky than "win32" in the arch argument, but the outcome is the same. It wont load the 64bit equinox.launcher binary but the 32bit.

For me, adding -nosplash is sufficient to launch Eclipse Scout applications on Mac OS X with Java 7, no need to change the architecture.

Since Scout uses its own splash screen, the SWT splash screen is not required.
