[platform-swt-dev] Oracle Java 7 on Mac OS X
|
Hi all,
is there anybody else having trouble with their SWT based apps and Oracle Java 7? I can't seem to find much information on the web. When users have Oracle Java 7 installed, our SWT app (64 bit version) doesn't run correctly anymore, hangs on start. I am trying to figure out bundling the JRE with our app to shield us from weird user setups with regards to Java, which version they have installed or whether or not they have it globally disabled because of all the current FUD in the news about Java.
I have so far managed to create a bundle with JRE inside, with lots of open questions still, following this extensive tutorial:
http://www.intransitione.com/blog/take-java-to-app-store
The app runs, but I have not found out how to add back a splash screen and for some weird reason, all native SWT scroll bars ignore my system setting in 10.8.2 to always show scroll bars. Instead they exhibit the default behavior of auto-hiding themselves.
Eclipse has the correct scroll bars with the Oracle JDK installed, but that might be because I have the 32-Bit version (don't remember) and it falls back to using the Apple JDK 1.6 which is also still installed.
How do others deal with all these recent headaches? Any good source of information?
Best regards,
-Stephan
