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

I can confirm that the buttons work as expected on Mac in the first Beta3 build (H119).
And it's what I wanted. But shouldn't we help the user choose one of those somehow? Perhaps recommend one? Like: 32-bit (recommended). Of course it would be best to describe the impact for the user, but that would add clutter to the UI. So simply recommending one could be enough.

Also, why do you call it Java Data Model? Wouldn't simply "Architecture" be better?
And last, wouldn't "32-bit" be better than "32 bits"? That's what I see used elsewhere.

Max, what do you think?

> 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.
