Building an OSGi runnable on a Mac doesn't seem to work. The splash screen comes up but it then hangs. Messages in the log include the following
2009-02-04 09:54:41.815 java[32900:10b] [Java CocoaComponent compatibility mode]: Enabled
2009-02-04 09:54:41.819 java[32900:10b] [Java CocoaComponent compatibility mode]: Setting timeout for SWT to 0.100000

There is a [http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#swtawtosx web page] that suggests that this bug has already been fixed but I was not able to follow these instructions. In particular I was not able to find the SWT Compatibility libraries on connect.apple.com and updating to the latest java version did not help. Possibly this will work on the intel macs though. I tried a couple of other things to see if I could get around this:

# maybe there is some setting on the OSGi runnable that will fix the problem. I tried a couple of things like changing the Java Executable and changing the execution environment but I didn't succeed. I also tried restricting the set of bundles from the target envrionment to a minimum.
# I tried Eclipse on Swing (EOS). Seems cool but I found that it hung on the Eclipse splash screen so I don't know if it would help.
# I wondered whether using a different OSGi Framework would help. By default, eclipse only comes with Equinox. But Protege 4 will run happily in the Felix and Knopflerfish OSGi distributions. There are [http://wiki.eclipse.org/OSGI_component_support_in_Service_Creation#How_to_deploy_OSGI_component_to_runtime instructions] on how to setup these distributions in eclipse but I didn't manage to get this working. In particular, I could not find the eclipse pluugin that has the FelixInitializer class. I don't know if it would have helped.
