4:40 p.m.
I'm currently testing JBDS 7 on a freshly installed Mac Book Pro running OS X 10.8.5
[I've also tried with Mavericks, with the same result].
In order to install JBDS 7, you need to have java installed in order to run the command:
java -jar InstallerFile_for_JBDS7.jar
So I downloaded the JDK 7_40 from Oracle and installed it.
When I wanted to run JBDS 7 I get a message stating that in order to run I must install
JDK 6, at that time OS X offers to download a JDK directly from Apple and after it is
installed then I'm able to run JDBS 7. This behavior is not consistent with the
Windows version - If you have JDK 7 installed, you're able to lunch JDBS 7 without
issues.
Can you guys shed some light to what the dependencies for JDK 6 on OS X for JBDS 7 are?
How can I make run directly on JDK 7, without having to install JDK 6.
* As a side note, by installing JDK 6, you get a 32 bit version of Java - that is not
present on JDK 7.
This allows you to re-install JBDS 7 on OS X and get back the Visual Page Editor by
selecting to run JBDS 7 with JDK 6 (32bit).

Luis

Welcome to the wonderful world of how Java became really hard to use when Apple decided to
drop their own java distribution and let Oracle take over instead.
When you run 'java' on OSX it will use the apple provided java binary and if you
haven't installed the Oracle *JDK* I don't think oracle's distribution takes
over.
Thus be sure whatever 'java' you use is actually the java from Oracle if you want
to install with Java 7.
You can of course just use Apple's provided Java to run the installer and then in the
installer point to the oracle jdk when the installer asks which Java version to use.
p.s. The visual page editor feature in JBDS requires a 32-bit VM and Oracle's Java 7
only provide 64 bit. Thus you will loose that feature by going to Java 7 on OSX. But that
is the only thing that should be affected. Mind you, that you can run JBDS with Java 6 but
use Java 7 or any other VM when running whatever server you wish to use. Giving you the
best of both worlds as it stands today.

Max,
I agree Java has become a bit cumbersome on OS X.
I'm able to install JBDS fine by using JDK 7.
But after install on the first run of JBDS 7 you get a prompt stating that this software
needs a JDK 6 (and prompts for a download).
This is something I'm trying to figure out still. Why do I need to install Apple's
JDK 6 when I'm already running Oracle's JDK 7?
It makes no sense, I'm baffled.

If that happens after installation it is because you said ok in the installer to use the
default Java install and for some reason the oracle install you made did not set it self
up as the default java version.

Max,
At first I thought that was the case as well.
I've re-installed both the OS ( To keep things clean ) and JDK 7, to try it out
again.
While installing JBDS 7, I used the command: */usr/libexec/java_home -V* to find the Java
runtimes installed on my system and only JDK7_40 was installed.
I used the path provided by the command as the JRE to use with JBDS 7 ( This path was
already selected and detected as the default path for Java by the JBDS 7 installer,
I'm sure there is nothing wrong with the installer ).
Before running the JBDS y look inside the package file and found the INI file - the -vm
option was pointing to the JDK 7_40 that the installed had detected.
As before while trying to start JBDS the first time I get the prompt stating that this
program need JDK 6 and that it would download the apple version.
I will assume that this is caused by some apple wackiness with Java.

I was able to find out what was wrong.
The INI file declares a launcher.library by default on OS X when installing JBDS 7 it
points to:
org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_1.1.200.v20130521-0416
When you upgrade to version 7.0.1 you get an updated version called:
org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_1.1.200.v20130807-1835
If you update to 7.0.1 and then change the INI file to use the updated launcher.library
like this:
{quote:class=jive_text_macro jive_macro_quote}
-startup
../../../plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20130327-1440.jar
--launcher.library

You can get rid of the JDK 6 dependency. Since it won't ask for a JDK 6 installation
to be present.
Would it be possible to update the JBDS 7 installer to version 7.0.1? I got mine here:
https://devstudio.jboss.com/earlyaccess/7.0.0.GA.html

looks like a bug for sure. I've opened [JBDS-2797] .ini upgrade issue for 7.0.1 users
- JBoss Issue Tracker (https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-2797) to get this
investigated.
If you can please watch it and let us know which upgrade path you followed ?
Was it just Installed JBDS 7.0.0.GA (all was good), then updated to 7.0.1.GA and you get
the error ?

there is another launcher jbdevstudio.app, does it work as expected after update without
any additional changes? Problem is that JBoss Developer Studio.app is copy of
jbdevstudio.app that was done at installation time and it doesn't get updated.

The upgrade path was:
- Install JBDS 7 from scratch - result you get a prompt asking to install JDK 6.
( Caused by launcher being set to:
org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_1.1.200.v20130521-0416)
* Installed JDK 6 so that I could run the App and upgrade to JBDS 7.0.1
- Upgraded to JBDS 7.0.1 - result you get a prompt asking to install JDK 6.
Just as Denis stated there is another App called 'jbdevstudio.app' and I looked
into the INI file from this App and there where I saw that the launcher had been upgraded
to:
org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_1.1.200.v20130807-1835
By the way the app 'jbdevstudio.app' works fine with out asking for the JDK 6.
So I removed JDK 6 manually from my OS X install and then changed the INI file to use the
new launcher.
With the new launcher I don't get a prompt asking to install JDK 6, it works straight
out of the box with JDK 7.

So to confirm:
* *jbdevstudio.app* works with Oracle JDK 7 out of the box, upgrade works from 7.0.0 to
7.0.1
* *JBoss Developer Studio.app* prompts for Apple JDK 6, upgrade does not work for 7.0.0 to
7.0.1
Is that correct?

After a clean install:
* *jbdevstudio.app* is not present.
* *JBoss Developer Studio.app* 7.0.0 prompts for Apple JDK 6.
After upgrade from 7.0.0 to 7.0.1:
* *jbdevstudio.app* is present, works with Oracle JDK 7 out of the box - INI file states
that the launcher is:
org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_1.1.200.v20130807-1835
* *JBoss Developer Studio.app* still prompts for Apple JDK 6, upgrade does not work for
7.0.0 to 7.0.1 - - INI file states that the launcher is:
org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_1.1.200.v20130521-0416 ( the original
launcher from the install of JBDS 7.0.0 )

So in other words, steps done when running the installer...
* renaming *jbdevstudio.app* to* *JBoss Developer Studio.app** & creating a symlink
from the install root to the studio/*.app file,
* adding JVM entries to the .ini file(s)
* regenerating metadata (I think that's the step that updates the launcher entry in
.ini file from *20130521* to *20130807*)
* copying Contents/Info.plist to studio/*.app/Contents/Info.plist
... do not occur when updating, and these steps SHOULD be performed when an update is
done. So we may need to look at adding more p2.inf magic into the com.jboss.jbds.all
feature.

can you confirm if updating from 7.0.0 to 7.0.1 causes any of your .ini files to change
from this containing this default
-Djboss.discovery.directory.url=https://devstudio.jboss.com/updates/7.0/devstudio-directory.xml
to this new value?
-Djboss.discovery.directory.url=https://devstudio.jboss.com/updates/7.0-development/devstudio-directory.xml
On 64-bit linux I have not seen this behaviour (the URL doesn't change *TO* the
7.0-development/ site, but it may change *FROM* the dev site to the 7.0/ release site as
per the p2.inf instructions in the com.jboss.jbds.product.feature.

Nick,
I can confirm that upgrading from 7 to 7.0.1 changes
-Djboss.discovery.directory.url=https://devstudio.jboss.com/updates/7.0/devstudio-directory.xml
on the jbdevstudio.app but not on the JBoss Developer Studio.app
