[oXygen-user] Changing Java VM

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Adrian Buza)]

Hi,

You haven't mentioned the version of Oxygen, so I'm assuming it's the 
current version, v16.0.
We generally do not recommend changing the bundled/recommended JRE 
unless you have a very good reason (e.g. serious bugs or crashes with 
that JRE).
Is there a particular reason why you want to run Oxygen with Java 7?

The instructions you found on the forum do not apply to OS X. They are 
for Linux and Windows distributions.
The OS X .zip distribution of Oxygen requires Java SE 6 (from Apple). 
There is no way to configure the .app to recognize Java 7 or later (from 
Oracle).

There is also a .tar.gz distribution for OS X that bundles *Java SE 
8u5*. You can download that here:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Editor/MacOSX/VM/oxygen.tar.gz
If for some reason you want to use Java 7 instead of 8, although we do 
not recommend this, in this distribution you can replace the JRE found 
in 'oxygen/.install4j/jre.bundle'.
Note that this does not work the same as Linux and Windows, so if you 
simply remove that folder, Oxygen will no longer start.
You will have to either copy your Java 7 JRE ('Contents' folder) to that 
folder ('jre.bundle'), or create a symbolic link that points to your 
Java 7 JRE installation folder.

Regards,
Adrian
