Xcode & Mac OS X

    I've just recently switched from using WinXP & Eclipse to Mac OS X & Xcode to develop/test Java programs.

    In eclipse, it would automatically apply a security policy to Java applets I create d which would permit all access; essentially letting the applet run without any security requirements (code signing etc.). Unfortunately it seems that Xcode on Mac OS X doesnt do this.

    What I need is to be able to test a Java applet in Mac OS X, using Xcode, without security issues or needing to code-sign an appplet. How do I do this?

    Any help apreciated, thanks.

    Have you considered using Eclipse on MacOS X?

    yeah, I tried it. Unfortunately, Eclipse crashes on *every* OS other than Windows, at least from my experience.

    It wouldnt even get past the splash screen without an error :(

    That's odd - it doesn't seem likely that the Mac builds are posted on eclipse.org without at least some testing. Have you tried 3.1.2?

    I just downloaded 3.1.2 yesterday, and it didn't work when I tried on Mac Os X :(

    I just realised something, something really really stupid.

    I have an iMac Intel Core Duo. Eclipse thus far, (as much as I can tell), only has a version for the Power Pc processor.

    I didnt realise this, so it certainly explains why it wouldnt work. The question now is where do I get a copy for intel processors on Mac OsX?

    Download the source and build it?

    Wait, hang on. Eclipse, a java application, is platform specific?!

    :confused:

    Yep, it uses native controls and things.

    OP, try running Eclipse with Rosetta.
