Yes, SWT carbon is supported on OS X
10.5. If you run one of the already available 32-bit JDK's (1.5, 1.4.x
etc), it will wokr. The crash you are seeing on 10.5 is probably a bug
in your code (or ours).
The confusion comes because Apple is
no longer supporting 64-bit carbon. This wouldn't be a big deal for
us right away because we can still call 32-bit carbon (32-bit JVM calls
32-bit carbon). The problem happens because the (yet to be officially
released JDK 1.6) is rumoured to be 64-bit only. This won't work
(64-bit JVM cannot call 32-bit carbon).
Feel free to complain to Apple about
the situation.

[platform-swt-dev] Is SWT Carbon UI
supported in Leopard (OS x 10.5)?
I have seen this question posted several places (even
on this site) and no one has directly answered the question.
I have a Java application that uses Carbon to create the menus on the Mac.
It works great in 10.4, but gets a memory overwrite exception in 10.5
Does Carbon work on a 64 bit system? If not, what should I replace it with???
Thanks
