[josm-dev] Java 7 on Mac OS X

[Richard Welty]

i'm a mac user who has been happily using the JOSM.app supplied for
download for some time, but despite the fact that i have Java 7 installed,
it has insisted on using Java 6 and warning me i need to install 7. i've
been getting very frustrated trying to get it switched over, as i've
seemingly jumped through all the hoops:

$ /usr/libexec/java_home
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_09.jdk/Contents/Home

i've continued researching this and may have found the issue; apparently
there is a apple app bundler for java that will only launch java 6, and
a newer app bundler that will only launch 7. there's a web page about
it here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14806709/application-is-using-java-6-from-apple-instead-of-java-7-from-oracle-on-mac-os-x

so which app bundler is being used right now creating the JOSM.app
for Macs?

thanks,
   richard
