[oXygen-user] Mac java version

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

Mac OS 10.5 was not officially released yet so oXygen does not 
officially support it. The NullPointerException that stops oXygen on Mac 
OS 10.5 with Java 1.5 is caused by a bug in the Apple Java 1.5 virtual 
machine. If the Java team from Apple will not fix this bug in the Java 
1.5 virtual machine that will be shipped with the official Mac OS 10.5 
we will try to find a workaround in oXygen code. If you can report this 
bug to the Apple Developer Connection maybe they will fix it faster. The 
stacktrace of the NullPointerException is the following and it should 
not happen when JComponent.getFontMetrics() is called:

java.lang.NullPointerException
     at java.util.Hashtable.get(Hashtable.java:336)
     at java.awt.Component.getFontMetrics(Component.java:2494)
     at javax.swing.JComponent.getFontMetrics(JComponent.java:1589)

As you already know from this list you can run oXygen 8.2 with Java 
1.4.2 on Mac OS 10.5 beta without problems.


Regards,
Sorin
