      1. Download and install Oracle JDK 1.7 for Mac here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u4-downloads-1591156.html
      2. Open Terminal and make sure "java -version" returns version 1.7 - set it in Java Preferences app
      3. Start JBDS installer using java -jar <installer>.jar
      4. Select 32-bit version during the installation and finish installation
      5. Start the newly installed JBDS - you will notice it runs in 64-bit mode (you can check this in Activity Monitor for example, or you can try to open VPE editor)

    Description

      I accidentally had my java set to java 1.7 on my mac computer:

      vokuro:5.0.0.CR1 rasp$ java -version
      java version "1.7.0_04"
      Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_04-b21)
      Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.0-b21, mixed mode)

      When you then launch the installer using

      java -jar jbdevstudio-product-universal-5.0.0.v201205272317M-H143-CR1.jar

      everything seems ok, you are allowed to select either 32 or 64-bit installation, but regardless of what you choose, the 64-bit version will be installed.

      Not sure how this can be handled. At the very least we should disable the radio buttons and preselect 64-bit if that's what must be installed. But the fact is that JBDS will run with java 1.6 anyway. Even if you installed it using 1.7. So wouldn't it be possible to install the 32-bit version even if the installer is run using java 1.7 64-bit?

      FYI, on Mac OS X Lion, there are currently these jdk versions:
      Apple JDK 1.6 32-bit
      Apple JDK 1.6 64-bit
      Oracle JDK 1.7 64-bit
      I don't expect there will ever be Oracle JDK 1.7 32-bit available.
