Cannot Run/Debug Swing apps under Mac OS eclipse

[trojanfoe]

I am having a problem running or debugging a WindowBuilder Pro-generated Swing Application (one you'd get from New -> Class -> WindowBuilder -> Swing -> Application Window) under Eclipse on Mac OS 10.6.6. If I run it directly from the command line, then it works. When running/debugging under eclipse it creates the main window but generates the following error messages and stops:

Code: Select all

From research elsewhere, it appears that the JVM option -XStartOnFirstThread is being passed in the launcher and this is causing the crash. Can anyone advise me what to do here please? Can I hack some file to remove the JVM option or am I missing something more fundamental?

I am using Eclipse 3.6.1.

Thanks in advance,
Andy

I have not seen any problems running/debugging Swing apps under OSX.

I would recommend posting general Swing questions to the Swing & AWT Forum or general Eclipse questions to the Eclipse Community Forums.

We would like to keep this forum focused on Swing Designer itself. Thank you.
