Everything you did is right, but you guessed what to do because you are a technical person. We, XMLmind, cannot reasonably ask our Mac users to do what you did. Here's in fact what we naively had in mind: --> You have a PowerPC-powered Mac: you need the .dmg distribution. (which *probably* works fine on Intel-powered Macs: the PowerPC JavaApplicationStub is probably translated on the fly by Rosetta and after that, XXE probably uses the native JVM). --> You have Intel-powered Mac: you need the -mac.zip distribution. No need to start XXE from a Terminal in such case. Simply double-click on xxe-yyy-zzz/bin/xxe shell script and you'll get something as functional as XMLEditor.app. > (I do not know If i am allowed to redistribute my JavaApplicationStub. > If so, I'd glady donate it for inclusion in future XXE versions) Oh yes! I have desperately searched where to find a Universal Binary JavaApplicationStub with no results. Please send me (mailto:hussein at xmlmind.com) the Universal Binary JavaApplicationStub you used. (JavaApplicationStub is, of course, a redistributable.) --- PS: We'll probably not purchase an Intel-powered Mac before several months.
