Wolfram workbench on MacOsX

[fd]

Dear all

I went on to install Wolfram workbench on a mac os X snow leopard, but
it was stopping at the very beginning of the installation. It
generates the error message below. Did anyone have a similar problem?

Hi,

I was prompted by your post to try Workbench for the first time since
installing Snow Leopard.

Workbench failed to open with a message to see a log file which I
could not locate!

I am sending this to WRI support ... there is a major bug here.

Cheers ... Syd

For what it's worth, I just tried the latest beta of Workbench 1.2.

The program launches, and I can open the .m file and .nb file in the
current project. However, when I try to open the PacletInfo.m file, I
get an error.

Error Opening the editor. When I look at the details, It says that
there is a java.lang.NullPointerException

Looks like there is a conflict between Java in Workbench and what is
loaded in Snow Leopard. This could be the problem in Workbench 1.1 as
well.

Hi,

want a quick fix?
Just request the beta test version of the 1.2 Workbench:
