Re: [platform-swt-dev] SWT libraries on 64-bit JVM

[Carolyn MacLeod <Carolyn_MacLeod@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Martin - interesting.

Here are the relevant SWT FAQ entries:
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#cocoa32launch
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#cocoa64launch

Could you come up with some words (question/answer)
for a new FAQ entry that describes this?
Or should we modify the words of the
second entry to mention the kernel type?

Thanks,
Carolyn

Hi Ahmed,

One gotcha to look out for is that you must use the SWT jar which matches
your kernel and not just the CPU or JVM. 

I have an OSX machine with a 64 bit processor which is running a 32 bit
kernel. The JVM starts in 64 bit mode by default and I get an error regardless
of whether I load a 32 bit or 64 bit OSX SWT jar. Instead I must use the
JVM argument "-d32" to launch the JVM in 32 bit mode and use
the 32 bit OSX SWT jar.
