OK, fair enough, next time I'll confine my response there.

I am 3.2.6 so I don't know why I have problems with this project. Theres a 64 bit machine available to me now. I'll try that or a different user or reinstall XCode or the usual  things, I again guess.

This seems a little contrary to the effort that was putting into providing support for multiple user selectable JVM's. But ok, I guess since you can't count on a OS installation I can understand this.
Unfortunately for the time being being unable to build the XCode project I have no fallback.

Again the hitch with the XCode project for whatever reason being unusable to me.

For the code I'm thinking about generating a application for I will probably still start out with a 1.6 while I figure this part out.

Thanks for the response.
Looking forward to the documentation so you don't have to explain these things here or in a JIRA.
