Raptor on Mac OS X (10.4)
21628Dec 30 2005 — edited Jan 25 2006Getting raptor to run successfully on Mac OS X wasn't entirely intuitive. Here's what I did. If you found a better way, please post it.
1. Download and install J2SE 5.0 from Apple:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/java2se50release1.html
2. Put the 'raptor' folder in /Applications
3. Append the following line to the file /Applications/raptor/jdev/bin/raptor.conf:
SetSkipJ2SDKCheck true
4. Execute the following:
# cd /Applications/raptor
# sh raptor
On your first attempt you'll be asked for the full pathname of a J2SE installation. Enter the following:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home
If you get it wrong, edit (or delete) the .raptor_jdk file in your home directory.
