Hi,<br>
<br>
We generally recommend Oxygen plugin developers to build them for
Java 6 for best compatibility, especially for OS X.<br>
Anyway, I see there that building the source code requires Java 7 or
<b>later</b>. So it should run fine with Java SE 8. I'd recommend
sticking with the bundled version of the JRE rather than changing
it.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Adrian<br>

You haven't mentioned the version of Oxygen, so I'm
assuming it's the current version, v16.0.<br>

Correct, see below</div>

The instructions you found on the forum do not apply to OS
X. They are for Linux and Windows distributions.<br>
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).<br>
<br>
There is also a .tar.gz distribution for OS X that bundles
<b>Java SE 8u5</b>. You can download that here:<br>

href="http://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Editor/MacOSX/VM/oxygen.tar.gz">http://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Editor/MacOSX/VM/oxygen.tar.gz</a><br>
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'.<br>
Note that this does not work the same as Linux and
Windows, so if you simply remove that folder, Oxygen will
no longer start.<br>
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.<br>

<div>to set oxygen to work with Java version 7. But I
don’t have an JRE directoy in my oxygen installation
(version 16). I am using Mac os X 10.9.2. The Mac Java
control panel tells me that I have only Java
versions 1.7.0_60 in the mac os, but the oxygen info
via</div>
<div>"Help > About, System properties,
„java.runtime.version“"</div>
<div>says that oxygen is using java1.6.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The oxygen java.library.path system property has
the value</div>
<div><br>
/Applications/oxygen/Oxygen
XML Editor.app/Contents/Resources/Java:/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/JavaApplicationLauncher.framework/Resources:.:/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/Extensions:/usr/lib/java</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>so maybe I need to change something in the Oxygen
XML Editor.app so that oxygen uses java 7. Any
suggestions?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
