Redhat Developer Studio was not available for Mac OS X. But still you can run the developer studio on your Mac OS X. Here's what it looks like on Mac OS X Leopard

Here is how you can run the same on your Mac OS X

  • - Download the Eclipse Java Distribution for Mac OS X from eclipse website.
  • - Install Eclipse to /Applications/Eclipse.
  • - Download Redhat Developer Studio Jar file for Windows
  • - Double click and run the Jar file to Install RHDS into /Applications/rhdevstudio, it will show some error running command near the step 3. Ignore the error, anc click on Finish
  • - Copy all the plugins from /Applications/rhdevstudio/eclipse/plugins to /Applications/Eclipse/plugins folder
  • - Copy all the features from /Applications/rhdevstudio/eclipse/features to /Applications/Eclipse/features
  • - Copy the eclipse.ini from /Applications/rhdevstudio/eclipse to /Applications/Eclipse/eclipse.app/contents/MacOS

You should now be able to run the Redhat Developer Studio by just double-clicking on Eclipse.app. You may need to create a new Jboss Server and Seam runtime to point to the /Applications/rhdevstudio/jboss-eap/jboss-as and /Applications/rhdevstudio/seam.

The Jboss Tools XHTML editor is not working though, You can just select HTML Editor instead of JBoss HTML Editor

or you could

- copy missing files from /Applications/Eclipse/plugins folder to /Applications/rhdevstudio/eclipse/plugins

- copy missing files from /Applications/Eclipse/features to /Applications/rhdevstudio/eclipse/features

- copy Eclipse.app to /Applications/rhdevstudio

finally when you click Eclipse in /Applications/rhdevstudio

it will lunch rh dev studio (at least it worked for me)

Hello Duke, I followed the steps you mentioned above but I could not find the directory mentioned Applications/Eclipse/eclipse.app. Can you help me out here. Thanks

You'll not have a directory

You'll not have a directory named Eclipse.app it might be just Eclipse Icon. Just Command-click and select "show package contents". If you are using from Terminal, you can change to the directory using "cd eclipse.app"

FYI: We will get a Mac OS X

FYI: We will get a Mac OS X build for RHDS in one of the future releases; but until then you can do the above steps (maybe simplify them by just unzipping your mac eclipse on top of RHDS eclipse instead of the 3 copy steps you have above ;)
