[Martin Malina (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12836?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12732016#comment-12732016 ] 

Martin Malina commented on JBIDE-12836:
---------------------------------------

{quote}-XstartOnFirstThread is required for Carbon & Cocoa, whatever JVM is used.{quote}
Ok, then it is correctly set up in the osx profile.

{quote}-d32 is necessary because we don't have a 64-bits XulRunner for Mac OS X (yet). How does VPE behave on an Oracle JDK 1.7 without setting 32-bits execution?{quote}
Oracle JDK 1.7 is 64bit-only. So VPE doesn't work if you use it (because of the missing 64-bit XULRunner). If you need 32bit, then you simply need to use Apple JDK 1.6.

> With introduction of new target-platforms, enforcement of usage of target platforms over repositories, usage of Maven mirroring on Jenkins... the parent pom has seen its responsibilities reduced.
> We should improve it to remove from it all legacy profiles and properties that are now replaced by more flexible mechanisms. Also, we should re-think some profiles to make them simpler to use.
> Goal is to make it easier to read, and then to maintain, without loosing any optimization we've made for end-users or CI.
