Burr Sutter commented on JBIDE-15120:
-------------------------------------

So, should Martin try to uninstall the Java 5 and see if things start working?

> On Mac OS X with Java 6 32-bit JVM - Browser fails to load
> http://screencast.com/t/iYnsp7ekB1Ha
> *Steps to reproduce:*
> # You need to have Java 6 and Java 7 installed on your Mac
> # Install a 32-bit version of Eclipse and run it with Java 6
> # Go to Preferences > Java > Installed JREs and remove all JREs except Java 7
> # Try to run BrowserSim
> *Actual result:*
> BrowserSim does not start. No messages shown.
> *Update:*
> This happens because Oracle Java 7 does not support the 32-bit mode, so it cannot run 32-bit SWT libraries, which are used by BrowserSim.
> *Workaround:*
> # Add (do not remove) Java 6 from Preferences > Java > Installed JREs
> # Go to Preferences > JBoss Tools > BrowserSim/CordovaSim and select Java 6 to run BrowserSim
