[Gvsig_english] gvSIG and Java on Mac OS X

[Agustin Diez Castillo]

Ben,
You can force Mac yo use a particular version of Java.
All versions reside at
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions
and there a link point CurrentJDK to the version of your choice.
So you only need to point CurrentJDK to your 1.6 JRE.
But anyhow if you're in PPC machine you need to take out the crs  
folder (this is true after the 913 build including 12xx). I've  
prepared a Mac version with sextante and gvSIG mobile for PPC machines  
[1].
