[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-1532) Users should be warned when installing 32 bit JBDS on 64 bit Leopard

[Martin Malina (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-1532?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12635443#comment-12635443 ] 

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

Note: Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard will no longer be supported in JBDS 5.0 - Leopard is EOL now - by the time JBDS 5 gets released, Lion will have been on the market for more than 6 months and Leopard won't have been updated for quite a while then. (Snow Leopard still will, however.) This means that we don't have to worry about Leopard anymore, but as Denis pointed out, this issue is related to other platforms as well, so it's still valid and to be fixed.

> 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.
