troubles building 64-bit VM on a mac

[David Green]

Landon,

That's fantastic!  I've tested the 64-bit build here (on a mac) and it works
beautifully.
BTW, from my blog post Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) on Java
7<http://greensopinion.blogspot.com/2009/05/eclipse-35-galileo-on-jdk-7.html>
you
can see that it's quite difficult to launch Eclipse using JDK 7.  Are there
some known issues that need dealing with?  If there's work to be done
getting Eclipse launching smoothly on JDK 7 I'd like to help.  Or perhaps
there are some patches that I'm not aware of?  Any hints would be
appreciated.

Best regards,

David
