Re: [jbosstools-dev] Special profile for java 1.7 on mac - how to do it

X with java 1.7. This is what we get:

I hate Mac, they are the worst thing that happened to Java developers, I still don't
understand why so many Java developers use them... That said ;)
Yes, Oracle fucked it up, and Maven fucks it up even worse in this case...i.e. why on
*earth* would anyone have profile enablement be based on an "or".
Is this property set by default on Mac when using Eclipse? Are there
some success stories of Eclipse on OSX with Java 1.7 ?
It could be an upstream issue.
yeah - I'm curious about this - where did you find out sun.lwawt.macosx.LWCToolkit
would solve it ? is this swtbot being weird ?
note I google this and found we apparently have code that messes with this in our tests
?!
http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/jbosstools-commits/2012-September/041589...
so this is not a new issue?
What is the full stacktrace of that error about "headless environment" ?
Also, I'd rather not using some complex and immature Expression
Language extension in the parent pom. We already have a lot of things to improve with the
way we build, using such a not-standard thing sounds like shooting in our own feet.
me neither - that requires custom extension install on every developer desk.
If we can't find a better way, this will be
yet-another-profile-for-OSX in the pom.xml.
seems like it yes - a severe limitation on how maven works ;(
