Problems on OSX 10.5 (Leopard)

[codex]

I installed the latest stable build of SWTDesigner (5th November) on OSX 10.5.

First problem I had was that the plugins

org.eclipse.swt.layout.grouplayout_1.1.0
org.eclipse.swt.widgets.baseline_1.10

were not picked up if installed in an extension location. This could be solved by moving them to the main Eclipse plugins directory.

Whenever opening SWTDesigner though, I get the following exception:

eclipse.buildId=I20070625-1500
java.version=1.5.0_13
java.vendor=Apple Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=macosx, ARCH=x86, WS=carbon, NL=de_DE
Framework arguments: -keyring /Users/mb/.eclipse_keyring -showlocation
Command-line arguments: -os macosx -ws carbon -arch x86 -keyring /Users/mb/.eclipse_keyring -consoleLog -showlocation

-XStartOnFirstThread is not in my eclipse.ini.

I can work with both SWT and Swing projects, just SWTDesigner is giving problems.

Note that there were changes in the latest JDK for OSX 10.5 regarding SWT compatibility, so maybe that's where the problem lies.

With regards

I just noticed that I if I disable Swing support for SWTDesigner ( uncheck Preferences -> Designer -> Swing -> Enable Swing development on OSX ) I' m able to work with SWT.

Basically, Java and Eclipse are currently broken in several ways under OSX 10.5 using the JDK supplied with OSX.

Just to let you know, both this bug, and a crashed that I reported, have now been fixed in the nightly builds of Eclipse 3.4. You can get hold of them from here:

http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/

Make sure you get build N20071112 or newer.

That is very good news. Hopefully, those fixes will make it into 3.3.2 as well.
