I'm using M7 on Mac OS X here, and I'm very impressed with the progress
since the last time I tried
it on my Mac -- it's come leaps and bounds. My compliments to all the
developers who've been
working on the port.
The UI on OS X is still a bit ungainly-looking. My largest complaint at
the moment is that the font
used in the Navigator, Package Explorer, the Java Browsing family of
views, etc., is just ridiculously
large on OS X. (I think it's Lucida Grande 13.) Unfortunately, I don't
see any way to change it. Is
there a preference pane I'm missing? A buried config file I can tweak?
Cheers,
Paul

There is no preference pane for the fonts used in Navigators and Package
Explorers because Eclipse relies on the platform's mechanism for changing
fonts.
Unfortunately the Mac doesn't not provide a mechanism for changing the
default font.
There are a couple of bugs related to this issue:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=28739
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=41221
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=49453
The first one even includes a patch that works quite well for me.
(However, having to patch Eclipse in order to make it look good is
unsatisfactory; I'll look into the problem again...)

Thanks, Andre, the patch looks like exactly what I'm after. And now I
know where the Bugzilla
system is at, so I can discover these things for myself! :)
I'm not sure if I want to take on the adventure of doing a local build of
Eclipse, but if I have an
hour or two to spare, I'll give it a whirl.
If any other Mac users come across this thread with the same question,
here's the link to vote for
this bug:

Cheers,
