Martin Malina commented on JBDS-1532:
-------------------------------------

I don't understand the second part of your sentence, Nick.
But I don't think it applies to all OS X installers - if you have the Cocoa 32 bit installer, it doesn't make sense to install it and have -d64 added - it wouldn't change the fact that you've installed the 32bit version. And vice versa with Cocoa 64 bit and -d32.

But actually even with the universal installer you don't really need to add -d32 anywhere, but you need to make sure you're installing the architecture the user wants - either 32 bit or 64 bit. Once you install one of them it doesn't matter if you use -d32 or -d64.

> I stumbled upon this when testing JBDS on Leopard:
> When you install the Cocoa (32bit) version of JBDS on Leopard, it lets you install it with no problem even though it's not supported because then it's bound to run with Java 1.5 (Java 1.6 is 64bit-only on Leopard).
> When you start JBDS after the installation at first everything seems ok - the welcome screen, the menu... But for example the installed EAP runtime is missing and soon you realize that other plugins are missing too - this is the result of running JBDS running with Java 1.5 in this case.
> If a user installs 32bit version of JBDS on Leopard, it is his fault. But it would be nice to have some kind of warning - either during the installation. Or when JBDS is started with Java 1.5.
