The following trace could help us solve your problem. [1] Open a terminal. [2] Define an environment variable called JAVA_LAUNCHER_VERBOSE bash example: --- ~$ export JAVA_LAUNCHER_VERBOSE=1 --- tcsh example: --- ~$ setenv JAVA_LAUNCHER_VERBOSE 1 --- [3] Start XXE using Apple launcher but from the command line rather than by clicking on the icon. I have the XMLEditor icon on my desktop, therefore I need to type the following command line: --- ~$ ~/Desktop/XMLEditor.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub --- [4] Send us what is printed in the Terminal window.
