Hello !
I've installed Virtual Editor 1.2M1 on my mac os X 10.4.3 (Tiger)
machine. I am running java 1.5 (latest release from Apple), Eclipse
3.2M4, GEF3.2M3 and EMF 2,2M3...
AND YES I am able to use VE !! It is quite slow even I am on a dual G5
but it works and is useable.
Thank you very much for all the good work ! :-)

The problems I had:

1) Eclipse hanged quite a few times. Difficult to reproduce the problem
it just hanged after a while.

I don't know if that is making any sense but I configured eclipse like
it is described here for swt-designer:
http://www.instantiations.com/windowbuilderpro/faq_content.h tml#OSX

Here are the modifications:
In Eclipse.app/Contents/info.plist , after these lines:
<key>Eclipse</key>
<array>
I added this:
<string>-vm</string>
<string> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Hom e/bin/java </string>

In

Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini I added:
-Djava.awt.headless=true

I am really not sure but I have the impression that I had less frequent
hangs since then.

2) The other problem I have is that there are multiple "java" icons
appearing into the dock when using the VE. Looks like they are
instances of SWT. It is not really a problem actually but maybe they
are related to the hangs...

3) There are also quite a lot of Warnings in the Error Log:

Anyway that's the first impression. Thanks again for all the work.

Hey Dominique,

Thanks for the feedback! I've noticed the random crashes as well - and
opened a bug report to look into it -
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=119530 You can add
yourself to the CC list to watch progress on it.

The extra icons on the doc are a result of the remote VMs launched in
the workings of the VE. I've looked at writing native code to hide the
icons, but haven't found any way of doing this programmatically (the
only solution I've found is adding some key's to Java's Info.plist file,
which isn't too user friendly ;) ) Let me know if you have any other
ideas of how to hide dock icons.

If you hit upon any other bugs with VE on OS X, please feel free to open
up a bug report here:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=VE Please prefix
the description with [OSX] to make it easier to spot the Mac bugs.

Thanks!
- Jeff
