As Joey has pointed out, the J install (and running) doesn't do anything to the environment. It is just the unpack of a tar.gz into a directory. So something else has done something to cause your symptoms.

I would also second Joey's suggestion to move to the latest 601 beta (you might want to wait a day or two as the q beta is coming shortly).

Subject: [Jgeneral] J504 "hijacks" Terminal in Mac OSX


Hi,

I don't see this problem mentioned in any FAQ, but would be glad of any hint:

after installing J504 on OSX 10.4.7 Tiger, I find that any attempt to run the Terminal application from the dock (or anywhere else), ALWAYS runs jconsole, which usually is not what I want.

It seems as if the install of J has done some sort of initialisation or configuration to some startup file, but it's not obvious where this might be - it's not in .profile, .bash_login etc.

I can't find any clean way of removing this - simply moving the J504 directory to Trash, or renaming or moving it elsewhere, results in any attempt to run Terminal aborting with a "no such file or directory".

Is this a known problem?

Thanks,

Greg
