Flex Builder 3.x not supported with 64 bit Java 1.6 on Mac OS XProducts affected
Issue
Flex Builder 3.x does not function with Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 1 with 64 bit Java SE 6 version 1.6.0_05.
Reason
Eclipse 3.3 is 32-bit due to the use of Carbon in the UI and the VM is 64 bit. Flex Builder is built on top of Eclipse and therefore inherits this issue.
Solution
To resolve this issue, switch to default VM to 32 bit Java 1.5.Note: The following changes may also resolve this issue in the future:
- Apple may release a 32 bit version of Java 1.6. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=216051 for more information.
- SWT may be ported to Cocoa .See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=216051for more information.
Additional Information
This issue is documented as Eclipse bug 216051 and Flex Builder bug FB-13722.
