The downside is you'll no > longer be compatible with Java 6 (not a bad thing, IMHO :) I did sort of wonder if the launcher somehow started the JVM as a subprocess that doesn't get passed the environment variables? It also occurred to me that if the launch parameters support this, I think runtime of java does, you could modify the launch code to pass current LSEnvironment env vars. I'm not sure appbundler is actively supported? There was another open source branch of that where you might make the enhancement, if it is a bug, and it can be fixed. Not entirely sure how active that project is either though. If I look into the env vars anymore I'll try to check on that. I think I did get setting R_HOME to work last night, instead of hanging the app actually crashed. Any tricks to getting crash logs these days I might of missed? Any java I do these days I pretty much target openjdk only.
