Same error message. I went back to 2.0.0.

It's can be a problem of installer, created incorrect configuration file for example. I am going to check it.

What exact version are we talking about here ?

There arent any public builds of 2.1 yet so would like to get the exact source and id to know if it is the latest.

Got it from Customer Support Portal.
jbdevstudio-macosx-carbon-2.1.0.v200909151012R-H166-GA

Okey - a tad early ;)

We'll look into it.

An issue has been created http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=4256828

@mareshkau did you mean a JIRA? You linked to this post instead.

@mstille did you install in on top of 2.0, or in a new location? Should be a new location.

What JDK are you using? 32- or 64-bit? Should be JDK6 if you want to use EAP5, JDK5+ otherwise. Also, must be the same # of bits as the distro (32-bit).

Unfortunately there's no 64-bit JBDS 2.1 installer, but the bits in JBoss Tools are 99% the same. (As Fedora is to RHEL, so is JBoss Tools to JBDS.)

If you want JBDS for a 64-bit JVM you'll have to assemble it yourself from pieces: Eclipse 3.4.2 Galileo JEE bundle (SR2), JBoss Tools 3.0.2.

It's easy, don't worry. If you need assistance, read this:

Also, have you tried launching from the Eclipse.app instead of the JBDS.app icon? I vaguely recall there was some bug about an incorrect jar reference in the JBDS app but not the Eclipse one - though I thought that was fixed. (This was on Leopard, not Snow Leopard, so YMMV.)

Correction. There is no 64-bit Eclipse 3.4.2 for Mac OSX.

http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.4.2-200902111700/macPlatform.php#EclipseSDK

The officially supported Mac platform for 3.4.2 is:

Apple Mac OS X 10.5, Universal, Carbon running:
Apple Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5, service release 4

If you want JBDS for 64-bit, you'll have to use JBoss Tools 3.1M3 (on Eclipse 3.5):

http://friends.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.5-200906111540/macPlatform.php#EclipseSDK

Eclipse 3.5 is supported on Mac/Cocoa/x86_64, with a suitable 64-bit JDK. However, Snow Leopard came out AFTER Eclipse 3.5, so once again, YMMV.

Turns out the H166 build is hosed. It was an incomplete build, missing a few plugins due to a script glitch (garbage in, garbage out).

I've got a new one grinding away now - should be done in about 4hrs, followed by testing, publishing, etc.

Please be patient, and if I didn't say it before, thanks for reporting this issue!

If you have any other information to report, here's the JIRA for this issue:

https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBDS-870

Hopefully we can get an early access release of JBDS 3.0 out there for the OSX10.6 folks so they can take advantage of the new Eclipse 3.5 for 64-bit OSX. Keep bugging your customer support / sales people - they need to know there's a demand for it! :)

rdowney, as Nick said thanks for reporting it.

This set of binaries were not supposed to be pushed out yet, so sorry for the disturbance.

We'll get it removed on the CSP and upload the real one ASAP.

Note: we are with this release also bringing out an updatesite hence you don't even have to download the install. Stay tuned for instructions ;)

Look for the H168 build on CSP soon. It's been tested, has passed, and is much happier than the incomplete H166 that went up before. Apologies again for the snafu, and thanks (again) for reporting the problem!

As to a Cocoa 64-bit JDK 6 version for Snow Leopard / 10.6... we'd love to have early testers!

I don't know if there are plans as yet to fully (read: enterprise-level) support 10.6 w/ JDK 6 and 64-bit Cocoa Eclipse. The major reason for this is that Eclipse 3.5 itself does not support 10.6 or even 10.5 on JDK 6... yet.

http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?planurl=http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/eclipse_project_plan_3_5.xml#target_environments

Still, there's an increasing population of 10.6 people, so while you may not be able to get enterprise support, there may very well be community support here for such a use case / scenario. (I'm too far down the food chain to be able to commit support.)
