Mac and Java V6 Error

Post by PointsWell »

If you are using Mac and install AIM you may be presented with an error window that says:

That's obviously not a good thing to do but it is the easiest way to fix the problem. It seems that this is problem that many Eclipse users experience. I found the work around this week and it is:

The instructions from the page are:
Step-1
Go to below location

Code: Select all

bash-3.2$ pwd
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_60.jdk/Contents
Step-2
Open Info.plist and Search for below lines

Code: Select all

Info.plist
<key>JVMCapabilities</key>
 <array>
  <string>CommandLine</string>
 </array>
Step-3
Replace those with below lines

Code: Select all

Info.plist
<key>JVMCapabilities</key>
 <array>
  <string>JNI</string>
  <string>BundledApp</string>
  <string>WebStart</string>
  <string>Applets</string>
  <string>CommandLine</string>
 </array>
Have done this and it seems to launch the AIM Configurator without the Java SE6 error.
