Raptor on Mac OS X (10.4)

21628Dec 30 2005 — edited Jan 25 2006
Getting 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.
