Oxygen crashes on OSX

[geoff]

I just downloaded Oxygen to try it out. It crashes constantly for me. I'm running Mac OS X 10.2.6, JDK 1.4.1. I get a crash sometimes when I try to format and indent, often when executing an xpath expression, and even when simply editing. It has also crashed all by itself while running untouched in the background for a few minutes.

I assume this isn't normal since I don't see any mention of a problem like this in these forums. Does anybody have a suggestion?

Thanks!

Hello,

I noticed that Apple just released a new Java VM . Please make sure your system is up to date. If you run into constant crashes, there is a way of specifying the use of Java VM 1.3.1 in Oxygen. This will make the editor more stable. To do this, CTRL-click on the oxygen.app bundle and choose "Show package contents". Browse the folder "Contents' and open in TextEdit the file "Info.plist".

Modify
<key>JVMVersion</key>
<string>1.3+</string>
to
<key>JVMVersion</key>
<string>1.3.1</string>

Regards,
Dan
