My macbook is about three years old now. I've heard stories about people with similarly old machines that didn't really do well under Lion. So I'm reluctant to upgrade.
I downloaded the Sun's JDK 7 u 4 for OS X, but its Lion only. The error message is "The installer is supported only on OS X Lion (10.7.0)" There's an open jdk build for snow leopard of for jdk 7u4, and I've been trying the latest netbeans with that, but the results are a bit mixed. It basically works, but there are some things in the ui that don't quite work right. For example, when I hit f6 to run the program, it runs it twice. However, if you select 'run' from the menu then its ok. Another issue that I noticed is that I can't scroll the palette in the gui designer. The scrollbar always snaps back to the middle when trying to scroll. I relaunched the new netbeans under java 6 and these issues disappear, so I doubt that its an issue with Netbeans. Has anybody else run into this? Heard of it? Any known work arounds? Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
