Eclipse, Leopard and Java....
| As many Mac users know, it has been hard getting Java 1.6 support under Leopard and even harder getting it to be the default JavaVM and even harder to get applications to run with it.

Basically, you need to modify the eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/Info.plist file and uncomment the following line (to force Eclipse to use the 1.5 JavaVM): /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Commands/java |  |
