[mylyn-reviews-dev] Mac OS Support?

[John Shields <john@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I was trying out the latest nightly of R4E and it appears that Mac OS
X is not supported. A quick search of the mailing list and bugzilla
turned up only 364423 [1]. The issue in that bug was my initial
problem but looking in the Eclipse log I also see that the
"OSPLATFORM.java" file [2] does not include an OS type for Mac OS. The
result is the NPE below [3]. I'm curious if fixing just the OSPLATFORM
would likely fix the issue or if there is more "across the board" lack
of support for Mac OS.

Thanks!

Regards,
John
