To setup Servoy Developer on OSX to work with Java 7 (assuming Java 7 is already installed) are the following steps need to be performed:1)

Navigate to /path/to/servoy/developer/servoy.app/Contents/ and edit the Info.plist file:
...
1. 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:'

1. 1. here add a line as (with the path to your Java 1.7 install): '<string>-vm</string><string>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java</string>'
...
1. Navigate to /path/to/servoy/developer/servoy.app/Contents/MacOS/ and edit the servoy.ini file:
  ...
  1. 1. above the '-vmargs' line, add two lines, as follows, but corresponding to your Java 1.7 install:
      -vm
      /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java
  ...
  1. In this same directory (.../developer/servoy.app/Contents/MacOS/) create a script called servoy.sh, which contains the following text:
    Code Block
    #\!/bin/sh
  ...
  1. \#
  ...
  1. export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0.jdk/Contents/Home

  1. LAUNCHER_JAR=../../../plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar
  ...
  1. LAUNCHER_LIB=../../../plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_1.1.101.v20120109-1504

  ...
  1. note: make sure the
  ...
  1. script can be executed (maybe execute a 'chmod a+x servoy.sh', without the quotes)
  ...
  1. make sure the JAVA_HOME points to the Java 1.7 install
  2. Launch Servoy using the created servoy.
  ...
  1. sh script
  To doublecheck that Servoy Developer actually runs with 1.7 (check Servoy Developer->About Servoy Developer->Installation Details->Configuration , see Servoy Developer > About Servoy Developer > Installation Details > Configuration java.runtime.version for instance)
