Trying out J803 under OS X 10.10 (beta)

Downloaded/installed and run in Terminal.

   load 'pacman'

   'install' jpkg 'all'

   'update' jpkg 'all'
Updating server catalog...

  NB. seeing this I tried JQT and it would act like it was launching (after 
bypassing "Not a Registerd Developer" warnings, but nothing happened.
  NB. so went back to docs and learned that I should -

     install 'qtide'
Updating server catalog...
Installing 1 package
Downloading base library...
Installing base library...
Done.
Installing JQt binaries...
Finished install of JQt binaries.
Installing Qt library...
Finished install of Qt binaries.
exit and restart J using the jqt icon
   ^D

At this point, JQT worked very well and the praise it has been receiving in 
forums seems quite justified. I even (as a curmudgeon non-IDE user) locked it 
into my launch dock. My only (initial) complaint is the strange (to me) line 
recall semantics. I really (still) dislike how the visible session is modified 
without changing the results, e.g.

 JVERSION
Engine: j701/2011-01-10/11:25 build: Feb  6 2011 16:16:29
Library: 8.03.05
Qt IDE: 1.2.4/5.3.2
Platform: Darwin 64
Installer: J803 install
InstallPath: /applications/j64-803
   i. 4 7

   i. 4 7

14 15 16 17 18 19 20
21 22 23 24 25 26 27
   
I realize that I can pull the line down before modifying it, but why not return 
it to a sensible value?

Anyway, the main reason for sending this rant is that I (still) like to use 
jconsole in Terminal and got the following unhappy result there.

MBair-2:bin jkt$ ja
   load 'plot'
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt 
platform plugin "cocoa".

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Abort trap: 6
