Document the fact that Oracle OSX Java 7 is not supported by JBDS 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBDS-2180 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-2180 Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio) Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: documentation, installer Affects Versions: 5.0.0.CR1 Environment: jbdevstudio-product-universal-5.0.0.v201205272317M-H143-CR1.jar Reporter: Martin Malina Assignee: Michelle Murray Fix For: 5.0.2.GA I accidentally had my java set to java 1.7 on my mac computer: vokuro:5.0.0.CR1 rasp$ java -version java version "1.7.0_04" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_04-b21) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.0-b21, mixed mode) When you then launch the installer using java -jar jbdevstudio-product-universal-5.0.0.v201205272317M-H143-CR1.jar everything seems ok, you are allowed to select either 32 or 64-bit installation, but regardless of what you choose, the 64-bit version will be installed. Not sure how this can be handled. At the very least we should disable the radio buttons and preselect 64-bit if that's what must be installed. But the fact is that JBDS will run with java 1.6 anyway. Even if you installed it using 1.7. So wouldn't it be possible to install the 32-bit version even if the installer is run using java 1.7 64-bit? FYI, on Mac OS X Lion, there are currently these jdk versions: Apple JDK 1.6 32-bit Apple JDK 1.6 64-bit Oracle JDK 1.7 64-bit I don't expect there will ever be Oracle JDK 1.7 32-bit available.
