mac java 1.6 and eclipse

While I was setting up my Mac last week, I installed Eclipse, because I use CFEclipse exclusively for CF development and Subclipse for my SVN interaction. Well, I had already installed CF and changed my default JVM by doing these steps so that ColdFusion would use Java 1.6 which I need for some Java libraries that I use, I noticed that Eclipse would not work.

One of the developers on my team (thanks Chris!) found that Eclipse needs to use jre1.5 so if you change your systems CurrentJDK, you will break Eclipse. The solution is to open the Eclipse.app package (show package contents command) and edit the info.plist with a text editor. Uncomment out the line that uses jdk1.5 and save the file. Eclipse will work again.

I hope this helps some people out that make the change to Java 1.6 for ColdFusion on a Mac and still want to use Eclipse for CF development.

Todd Sharp and his crew are having a snip-a-thon for CFEclipse users to submit the snippets they use. This will help create a snippet library. Categories include CFC Snippets, ColdSpring, Model-Glue and others. To submit your snippets, register on the site at http://cfsnippets.org/. To subscribe to the service (use the snippets from CFEclipse) you don't have to register, you just need to get the URLs, which are posted on the site. One of my team members, TJ, has submitted a handful of snippets already and I am going to do the same!
