I don't think the C++ code will be a problem or the OpenGL environment, please tell me ...

I'm building a plugin in Eclipse 3.5 on Windows which is a text editor for a language that my group works with. I distributed it as a .jar and just had people place it in the dropins folder.

I currently am looking at a bug related to an application crash when running on Mac OS X. The crash only seems to occur when using Java 6, with the Mac OS X 10.5 Update 1 (64 bit mode). The problem does not show up on 32bit Mac Java installs. From what I have read via google, the issue seems to be related to the fact that the applicatio...

The other computer would be Windows or OS X. An...
