processing + eclipse on snow leopard
Mar 17th, 2010, 8:10pm  
i followed the guide to run processing under eclipse. my specific need is access to a full-blown debugger, so the processing ide, while very cool, was a no-go after a few days of work.

everything worked, up until i tried using the rx-tx library, and then i ran into issues. the basic problem is that the native library that ships with processing is a universal binary that has ppc and i386. the jvms that come with snow leopard are all x64, and won't load either of those two architectures. you need to get a copy of the 1.5 jvm that came with leopard, and make your eclipse project use it.

more detail here:
wiki.oneswarm.org/index.php/OS_X_10.6_Snow_Leopard

to change the vm, right-click on the 'JRE System Library' element in package explorer, and select the appropriate jvm.

No, that's absolutely not correct. There is a 32-bit version of the JVM on Snow Leopard, use that. The simple explanation is that you add -d32 on the command line, but if you're going outside the Processing environment, you need to read up on that yourself. If you're going to develop Java code, you need to research how to be a Java developer.

Again, please *do not* ever install Java 1.5 on Snow Leopard:
