[news.eclipse.technology.ohf] Re: STEM integration Mac

[John Thomas <jthomas119_NOSPAM_@xxxxxxxxx>]

Vincent,

That is great.  Thank you for pursuing this.
Sorry that we were not of much help.  Dan is on a business trip in 
France and I am on vacation in Montana.  And we are woefully inadequate 
when it comes to MacOS.   We almost bought a Mac recently for my wife's 
movie editing hobby and now I wish we had.   I wish eclipse ran on an 
IPhone so I could justify buying one of those.  :-)

I will update the Installation guide on the OHF Wiki to indicate that 
for MacOS, one should install Java 1.6.
I guess that there are also some needed changes to the product file to 
pick up the various macos unique files.   Could you send me your MacOS 
version of stem.product?

Thanks again.
