Which JVM for ColdFusion development on Mac?
I've been having a lot of UI freezes lately on my MacBook Pro. The system will lock up for 20-30 seconds, with mouse movement, but no responses to clicks or the keyboard.
I'm suspecting that this is something to do with CF 8 and/or Eclipse on Apple's Java 1.5 JVM. The freezes happen most often when one or the other of these applications are running.
Things seem a whole lot better when I roll back to Java 1.4, but CFEclipse stops working.
I've also found references to running CF 8 on Java 1.6. Maybe that's the next thing to try.
have things changed with the Mac book pro? I have been told that you can not use java 1.5 or higher? I might be really wrong on this, but it did not work for me, but when going to 1.4 I have not had any issues.
All that being said, it is much faster than 1.5 and well worth the time to get it.
As always though, caveat emptor.
