    Description

      Unfortunately, one still need to tweak the Info.plist in order for XEclipse to start on OSX 10.5 with JDK 1.6 set as preferred JDK.
      The tweaks involve setting a vm version as explained in the plist.

      replace:

      <!-- to use a specific Java version (instead of the platform's default) uncomment one of the following options:
      <string>-vm</string><string>/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Commands/java</string>
      <string>-vm</string><string>/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Commands/java</string>
      -->

      with

      <string>-vm</string><string>/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Commands/java</string>

      I would recommend to do this change now since the binaries are 32 bits only and no further java on MacOSX will be released for 32 bits anyways (see java-dev mailing-list).
