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.
Aha. On the OSX 10.7.5 computer, it says this:
* Java™ runtime
* Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.6.0_65
* Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 20.65-b04-462
* Mac OS X 10.7.5 x86_64
* apple.awt.CToolkit
On the OSX 10.10-computer, it says:
* Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_60
* Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.60-b23
* Mac OS X 10.10.5 x86_64
* sun.lwawt.macosx.LWCToolkit
* JavaFX
* 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.
I will seek to do so ...
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.
OK.
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.
OK.
Anyway, in this detail XXE seems to behave the same whether it uses Java
1.6 or Java 1.8?
