jEdit, Mac, Java 1.7+
Submitted by alopecoid on Monday, 30 April, 2012 - 15:10
Hi,

Java 1.7 has been officially released by Oracle for OS X 64-Bit:
http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u4-b21/jdk-7u4-macosx-x64.dmg

I have been attempting to get jEdit (4.5.1) running with this JVM without any success. When I modify JVMVersion from 1.6+ to 1.7+ in /Applications/jEdit.app/Contents/Info.plist, I get an error "No compatible version of Java 1.7+ is available.". I have also tried setting this to the exact version number.


You will see here that I have Java 1.7 installed correctly:

/usr/libexec/java_home --verbose

Matching Java Virtual Machines (5):
1.7.0_04, x86_64: "Java SE 7" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0.jdk/Contents/Home
1.6.0_31-b04-413, x86_64: "Java SE 6" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_31-b04-413.jdk/Contents/Home
1.6.0_31-b04-413, i386: "Java SE 6" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_31-b04-413.jdk/Contents/Home
1.6.0_31-b04-413, x86_64: "Java SE 6" /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
1.6.0_31-b04-413, i386: "Java SE 6" /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0.jdk/Contents/Home


And:

echo ${JAVA_HOME}

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0.jdk/Contents/Home


Also, Java 1.7 is even set as the default:

java -version

java version "1.7.0_04"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_04-b21)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.0-b21, mixed mode)


I have been running jEdit on Linux (Ubuntu) and Java 1.7 for quite some time without any major issues.


Any ideas?

Thank you.

Hi,

Yes, I am sure that jEdit is working with 64-bit Java on Linux (Ubuntu).

I am still having the same exact problem as I mentioned in my earlier post, even with the newest versions of everything: jEdit 5.0pre1, jdk-7u6-macosx-x64, OS X 10.8

I will try the jEdit Developers Mailing List if you have no further suggestions.

Thank you.

I have the same problem. If you find a solution please post it. In my case I have only jdk 1.7.0_07, x86_64.
