I don't see how.
We'll try to reproduce and fix the bug you have reported. However
specifying which version of Mac OS X and more importantly which
version of Java (Apple Java 1.6? Oracle Java 1.8?) you use would help.
* OSX version: One computer runs OSX 10.7.5, the other runs OSX 10.10.5.
* Java: On both computers, the test at Java.com[*] reports that «You
have the recommended Java installed (Version 8 Update 60).»
"Help|About XMLmind XML Editor" displays, among many other info, the
version of Java actually used to run the application, no matter which
versions are installed on the computer.
* The OSX 10.7.5 machine is, in addition, able to rune Java from
command line, which repports this version information:
o java version "1.7.0_21"
o Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b12)
o Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)
Java 1.7 is the worst choice on a Mac. You should really uninstall it.
Two things: That page says that «On the Mac, it's still recommended to
use Apple Java™ 1.6 runtime to run XXE.» However, the .dmg-distribution
is «bundled with a private Java™ 1.8.0_60 runtime». So, even if one’s
Mac includes the Apple Java™ 1.6 runtime, I suppose that XXE will use
the bundled 1.8 java, not?
No. When Apple Java™ 1.6 is installed on a Mac, XMLmind XML Editor picks
this Apple Java™ 1.6 runtime and ignores the bundled Java 1.8.0_60 runtime.
Apple Java™ 1.6 is still the best choice to run a Java desktop
application on a Mac. To a lesser extent, this even applies to Retina Macs.
