Running On MacOS X 10.1.2 and HotSpot

[overloadedguy]

I am trying to run on my MacOS X installation and I seem to have an issue with the HOTSPOT variable in the run.sh script.

The script correctly detects the existence of the default HotSpot that comes with MacOS X and hence sets the HOTSPOT variable to "-server". Upon running the script I get back the following exception:

-------------------------------------------------
JBOSS_CLASSPATH=:run.jar:../lib/crimson.jar
Unrecognized option: -server
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
-------------------------------------------------

I don't enough about HotSpot or JBoss to debug this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I don't know much about MacOS but try the
following commands

java -version
and
java -help

You need java 1.3 to run JBoss (I think?)
The second command will tell you which virtual
machines (VM) are supported.

I'm using 3.0, but I think the same applies to 2.4.x...

MacOS only has a client hotspot, no server yet :-((

comment out these lines from run.sh

# If JAVA_OPTS is not set and the JVM is HOTSPOT enabled, then the server mode
#if [ "x$JAVA_OPTS" = "x" -a "x$HAS_HOTSPOT" != "x" ]; then
# JAVA_OPTS="-server"
#fi


and it should work fine.

Is 10.1.2 out? I can only find 10.1.1

What db are you using/planning to use?

Thanks for the explanation! JBoss is now up an running on a first generation iMac! Now it's time to loose some sleep playing around.
