RouteConverter and Mac OS X

[routeconverter]

At home, I have a non-Intel Mac (newer "cheesegrater" case) and Mac OS X 10.5.x (it's either 10.5.2 or 10.5.6, I'm not in front of it right now). When I try to launch RouteConverter it says I need a newer Java (mine doesn't have v6) and Apple doesn't provide that Java version for that OS X version (and Sun doesn't provide it separately).

Hi Kevin,

since Java 5 is deprecated I have dropped the support for it with RouteConverter 1.30. You could try an older version of RouteConverter, i.e. the 1.29 from

http://www.routeconverter.de/download/1....terMac.jar

It work, I have a 2x2.26 Quad-Core running 10.5.8 (latest updates) and trying to run RouteConverter simply says it cannot be launched and to check the console. Tried to get the console to launch/open, but it won't--it's not being triggered (changed the Java Preferences). Tried getting it to run in a Browser Process (default) and in it's own process. Still nothing.

What is the output when you start

> java -version

and

> java -jar RouteConverterMac.jar

from the console? Is there anything printed into the log files (see FAQ for details).

Am I missing some key setup instructions?

You don't miss any setup instructions, I don't own a Mac and thus my support for them is not as good as for Windows. Sorry - helping hands to improve the situation are always welcome.
