Michelle Murray commented on JBDS-2672:
---------------------------------------

[~nickboldt], clear as mud! But your rewording misses that all is fine on Linux distros and only OS X and Microsoft Windows have issues. I know it needs to be short, but how about (slightly reworded from the new installation guide):

"The visual editing and preview components of the Visual Page Editor do not work in the 64-bit version of JBoss Developer Studio on OS X and Microsoft Windows operating systems. To work around this restriction, you must install a 32-bit version of JBoss Developer Studio with a 32-bit Java developer kit on 64-bit OS X and Microsoft Windows operating systems."

So stating the issue and which users are affected and then clearly stating the workaround.

Hope that helps, but feel free to reword further.

> The Visual Page Editor does not run on 64-bit Windows or Mac. While the source editor does work, visual editing & preview do not. If you require this, run the installer with a 32-bit JDK.
> {quote}
> Making readers believe that we do not run on 64-bit OS.  The real issue is 64-bit JVMs.  A 32-bit JVM on a 64-bit OS is great.
> So, a rewording attempt:
> {quote}
> The Visual Page Editor does not provide visual editing nor preview when run on a 64-bit JVM.  However, it does provide visual editing when used on a 32-bit JVM even on a 64-bit Windows or Mac OS X.
