> 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.
