Mac Install

[_AnonymousUser]

I had problems installing 3.0.0.M3 on my mac. IMO, it's not very straightforward. Here are the steps I used to install it. I hope it helps anyone else who may have problems.
First, my Mac specifics:
- Java 1.6
- Mac OS X Ver. 10.5.4
- 64 bit
Steps Used:
1.) Download the TOS-All-V3.0.0M3 Windows 32, Unix, Linux (GTK based) version (named: TOS-All-r17341-V3.0.0M3.zip after download for me).
2.) Double click the zip file on your desktop to decompress it.
3.) Next, open the folder and double click the TalendOpenStudio-macosx-carbon.tar.gz file to uncompress it.
4.) Open up a Terminal window, you should be in your home directory, and type: chmod -R 777 TalendOpenStudio-macosx-carbon. This will make sure that ALL of the files are executable. You should probably do 755 instead of 777, but I just wanted to make sure there were no permission issues. Close the Terminal window.
5.) Next, open the TalendOpenStudio-macosx-carbon that appeared after step 3.
If you are running Java 1.6 by default, like I am, then you need to do the following. Otherwise, skip down to step 9.
6.) Right click on the TalendOpenStudio-macosx-carbon file (it should have an Eclipse icon next to it) and choose "Show Package Contents" from the menu.
7.) Open up the Contents -> Info.plist file.
8.) Scroll down to the bottom of the file and you will see a key called Eclipse. It has an node and says in the comment block: "to use a specific Java version (instead of the platform's default) uncomment one of the following options:". I uncommented out the following line: -vm/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Commands/java and then saved the file and closed it.
9.) Next copy the configuration, features, plugins and workspace directory into the TalendOpenStudio-macosx-carbon root directory where the TalendOpenStudio-macosx-carbon.app (Eclipse icon) application file is located.
10.) Double click the TalendOpenStudio-macosx-carbon.app (Eclipse icon) application file and it should start up.
Maybe this was self explanatory to the other Mac users out there, but it wasn't to me. Took me almost 2 hrs to get this working right.
Hope it helps someone.

Are you running an Intel based Mac ?
I followed your instructions but it doesn't work. Says that the app is not supported on this architecture.
I'm running a new Intel mac with 10.5.5 and the latest java update but am using the 1.5 jvm.
Would love to be able to use TOS on my mac.
Thanks,
Chris

I also have the same problem. No news on resolving this issue? Quite frustrating such a drop-dead error message...

the mac osx specifics files are broken. I could solve the problem by taking from my eclipse installation the following files :
- eclipse (alias)
- eclipse.app
Copy those 2 files into the TOS directory.
Make a "Show package contents" on the "TalendOpenStudio-macosx-carbon.app" file and go to Contents/MacOS
Open the TalendOpenStudio-macosx-carbon.ini file and copy the entire content in the clipboard
Make a "Show package contents" on the "eclipse.app" file and go to Contents/MacOS
Open the eclipse.ini file and override the content with what you copied before. Save the file.
Double click on eclipse.app and enjoy !

Just forgot to specify that I installed from TOS-All-r20205-V3.0.2.zip

This has worked well for me too. Step 1: download and unzip the Eclipse package. Step 2: download and unzip the TOS package. Step 3: move the TOS folder into Applications. Step 4: copy and change the two files from the eclipse folder, as per directions given above.
Now I click on eclipse.app to launch TOS, but who cares? Many thanks for this wonderful tip.
