<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p><strong>Q: Which platforms are supported by </strong><strong>Visual Editor?</strong></p><p><strong>A:</strong> The list of supported platforms (and their IDs):</p><ul><li>Windows with Java 32-bit (win32.win32.x86)</li><li>Linux x86 (gtk.linux.x86)</li><li>Linux x86-64 (gtk.linux.x86_64)</li><li>Mac OS X Cocoa with Java 32-bit (cocoa.macosx.x86)</li><li>Mac OS X Carbon with Java 32-bit (carbon.macosx.x86) [not supported by JBoss Tools 3.3.0 and later, JBDS 5.0 and later]</li></ul><p>In brief, Java 64-bit is supported on Linux only, on all other systems Visual Editor requires Java 32-bit.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><strong>Q: Visual Editor does not start under Linux</strong></p><p><strong>A:</strong> Linux users may need to do the following to get the visual editor to work correctly on their machines.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><ul><li type="ul"><p>The Visual Page Editor (before JBoss Tools 3.1.0.M4) requires the library libstdc+<em>.so.5.

This should force a load of the right XULRunner viewer.</p></li></ul><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><strong>Q: Visual Editor doesn't start at any platform and shows message <span style="font-size: 12pt;">'</span>The VPE editor can't be run because your system environment needs to be changed slightly<span style="font-size: 12pt;">'</span></strong></p><p><strong>A:</strong> Check if you version of JBoss Developer Studio/JBoss Tools is compatible with you version of Eclipse, see the compatibility matrix <a class="jive-link-wiki-small" href="http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-14297">http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/MatrixofsupportedplatformsruntimesandtechnologiesinJBossToolsJBDS</a></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><strong>Q: Visual Editor starts OK, but the following message dialog appears:</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-10862-38-1955/messageNaturesInfo.PNG"><span> http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-10862-38-1955/441-172/messageNaturesInfo.PNG </span></a></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><strong>A:</strong> Some functionality of Visual Editor may not work if a project doesn't have org.jboss.tools.jsf.jsfnature or org.jboss.tools.jst.web.kb.kbnature in .project configuration.
