...

1. Open the ../developer/Servoy.ini file in a text editor. (For Mac users, this file is exposed when you view in the MacOS folder, in the Servoy application package contents and browse to the MacOS folder.)
2. Change the -Xmx argument, for example, from -Xmx512m to Xmx1024m.
3. Restart Servoy to effect the changes.

Install Mozilla XulRunner As Internal Browser

Servoy Developer uses a browser component in several locations, like the Developer Start Page and the updated Form Editor for Servoy Mobile in Servoy 7.4.

...

1. .

...

In case of issues with the default browser (especially with the Form Editor), it is possible to install a FireFox based browser component called XulRunner into Servoy Developer, which will then be used instead of the default browser.

The XulRunner browser is available as plugin and can be installed using the following steps:

• Go to Help > Install New Software...
• Select the Xulrunner Plugin update site from the available sites or use https://www.servoy.com/developer/xulrunner if the Xulrunner Plugin update site is not available
• Follow the steps of the installation wizard to install the plugin

• After the plugin is installed and before Servoy Developer is restarted the servoy.ini file in the {servoyInstall}/developer directory needs to be updated. Add the following line to the end of this file:
  

  Code Block
  -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

After restart of Servoy Developer the XulRunner browser component will be used as browser component inside Servoy Developer.

Running Servoy Developer on

...

If running Servoy Developer on OSX and there is a need to run Java 7 (for example for JavaFX integration ), some extra steps are required, as due to a bug in Eclipse (on which Servoy Developer is based), the process of running Servoy Developer on Java 7 is not as straight forward.

To setup Servoy Developer on OSX to work with Java 7 (assuming Java 7 is already installed) the following steps need to be performed:

...

1. go to the part where it says something like 'to use a specific Java version (instead of the platform's default) uncomment one of the following options:'
   here, add a line as (with the path to your Java 1.7 install):

   Code Block
   <string>-vm</string><string>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java</string>

...

a specific Java version under Windows

Edit [...]\developer\servoy.ini. Above the '-vmargs' line, add two lines, as

...

shown below: (corresponding to

...

the Java

...

install that you want to use)

-vm

...

In this same directory (.../developer/servoy.app/Contents/MacOS/) create a script called servoy.sh, which contains the following text:

#\!/bin/sh
\#
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0.jdk/Contents/Home
LAUNCHER_JAR=../../../plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar

note: make sure the script can be executed (maybe execute a 'chmod a+x servoy.sh', without the quotes)
