Java

Syncro SVN Client requires Java to run. OS X includes Java by default or it will install it on the first attempt to run a Java application.

Syncro SVN Client supports only official and stable Java Virtual Machines with the version number 1.6.0 or later (the recommended version is 1.6.0 from Apple). Syncro SVN Client may work with JVM implementations from other vendors, but there is no guarantee that other implementations will work with future Syncro SVN Client updates and releases.

Syncro SVN Client uses the following rules to determine which installed version of Java to use:

If you start oXygen with the application launcher (.app) file then:
1. if you use the zip distribution for OS X Syncro SVN Client uses the Apple Java SE 6 available on your Mac computer
2. if you use the tar.gz distribution that contains a bundled JRE then Syncro SVN Client will use that bundled JRE
If you start Syncro SVN Client using a startup .sh script then:
1. if a bundled JRE is available then it will be used
2. otherwise, if the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set then the Java distribution indicated by it will be used
3. otherwise the version of Java pointed to by your PATH environment variable will be used

If you run Syncro SVN Client using the syncroSVNClient.sh script, you can change the version of Java used by editing to script file. Go to the Java command at the end of the script file and specify the full path to the Java executable of the desired JVM version, for example:

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/bin/java "-Xdock:name= ...
