OSX 10.7.2, Java 1.6.0\_29 from Apple. Until several days ago was working great. Now more or less instant crashes of Designer and client. Both running fine on VMWare XP VM, but crash right away on native OSX. Let me know what info you need.

An hs\_err\_pid\*.log file should be popping up somewhere that might give us more info, although I’m not exactly sure what directory it ends up in. You might try searching for it with Spotlight.

Sounds like we only need to know one thing: what changed?

Can anyone replicate this using Java 8? I think it’s been fixed by Oracle.
