Martin Malina commented on JBDS-2180:
-------------------------------------
So you're saying this can't be fixed, right? Couldn't we somehow tell that the
installer is run with java 7 on mac and display a warning, something like: You're
running this installer with java 7. If you want to install 32-bit version of JBDS, you
need to launch the installer using java 1.6. I'm just thinking about how to make it
predictable for users - if they accidentally launch the installer using java 7, they will
think they selected 32-bit and everything is fine, but then they will be surprised that
JBDS is actually installed in 64-bit mode.
If we can't do anything, it should be at least explained in the getting started guide
(or whichever explains the installation).
Support Oracle OSX Java 7 version

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: installer
Affects Versions: 5.0.0.CR1
Environment: jbdevstudio-product-universal-5.0.0.v201205272317M-H143-CR1.jar
Reporter: Martin Malina
Assignee: Denis Golovin
Fix For: 5.0.0.CR1
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.
