Web Application .launch configuration on a Mac adds "-d32 -xstartOnFirstThread" to VM ARGS

[Dmitry Tumanov]

Using GWT 2.1.1 and latest Google Web Toolkit plugin in Eclipse 3.6. I
have a Run Configuration - Web Application that keeps adding options "-
d32 -xstartOnFirstThread" to the VM ARS in my run target.
If I try to remove those arguments and save it, then re-open "Run
Configurations" I see them put back.
I'd like to find out why it keeps adding both of these arguments - I
do not use SWT, so there should be no reason for startOnFirstThread.
I run a 64-bit machine with 64-bit Eclipse, so it should not be adding
-d32 argument either.

Hi Dimitri!

I ran into the same problem.

I never noticed this before, but since the latest Java upgrade from
Apple (OSX 10.6 Java Update 4) the "-d32" flag causes my JVM to crash
with an exit value of 138!

If I manually change "-d32" to "-d64" my JVM runs fine...

It would be nice if the -d32 could be removed permanently.

BR,

Stefaan

I have exactly the same problem. Where do you change the setting? In the launch configuration? I cant make it work :-) It worked absolutely fine until suddenly?

I have the same pb. Cannot make it work either on Eclipse 3.5.2 64bits. Always get a 138 error even when I change the flag to -d64
