Hi Erik,

though MacOS X is not an officially supported platform, it should
still run fine if you have a 1.4.2 JSDK installed. This OTN thread

http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jsp?forum=134&thread=221840&message=614003

should get you started. From what I can see, people ran
into some minor problems, but that was the preview
version which also had some problems with Linux which
are gone now. I would give it a try. Basically, JDev 10g is
an 'xcopy' install; everything comes in a huge .zip archive
and only has to be extracted to some directory. Then find
the /jdev/bin subdir and check jdev.conf. Uncomment the
line starting with SetJavaHome (in my version, it's line 94)
and change it to pointing at your JAVA_HOME. That should
be it. After all, I'm running the Windows version this way
at home under SuSE 9.0, for I didn't want to download twice,
and I strongly suspect all those different versions just contain
the same files in the end. So I ended up with a surplus
Windows JSDK (in the /jdk subdir) which can be safely
deleted under Linux, but otherwise it runs just perfectly.

HTH,

NB. If you look closer at the /jdev/bin directory, there
even is a mysterious file named jdev-Darwin.conf.
Sounds kind of Apple-related to me :-)
