Seems to work fine now with
OSX 10.6.2 (pre-installed on new MacBook Pro)
Java & compiler 1.6.0_17 (pre-installed)
Eclipse 3.5.2 (64 bit for OSX)

The only headache is that j3d requires a tweak in Eclipse on OSX as in Tiger, etc.
to ignore “restricted” warnings instead of treating them as fatal.

It basically says you’re better off running 64-bit on Snow Leopard.

Yes, you can add VM switches in the “Installed JREs” tab. Select your JRE and hit the Edit… button.

In Snow Leopard, the Java Preferences App allows you to prioritize the 64-bit and 32-bit Java 6 VMs. I’m guessing that dragging 32 bit to the top would make 32 bit Eclipse find the proper VM.

Or, you could edit Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini and add -d32 on a new line at the end of the file (everything after -vmargs is passed on to the JVM executing Eclipse).

The last OSX update also broke Java – again with *no* notice or warnings. Thank You for this informative post.

If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.Powered by WP Greet BoxSince i’m primarily a java developer I need an updated JDK, Snow Leopard comes with a 64-bit Java 1.6; there’s a rumor going around that there is a 32-bit version, but I can’t seem to find it in my system. So with a 32-bit Eclipse, … The solution is quite simple, just download the classic 64-bit Eclipse (its at the bottom of the Eclipse download page). While with this approach, you have to install the plugins yourself, but it beats having an old JDK to work with. … Read more: Eclipse and Snow Leopard – On Tech and Software [...]
