Description

The Mac specific CayenneModeler 3.2M1 doesn't work when the only java on the Mac is jdk1.7.0_45. The symptom is it won't open. I tried installing it again, but OS X Mavericks says CayenneModeler is damaged and gives me the option to delete it. The platform independent version of CayenneModeler 3.2M1 works fine with jdk1.7.0_45.

I can confirm that installing java 6 from Apple solved the problem.

To prevent Java 6 from wanting to install, I had edited /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_45.jdk/Contents/Info.plist

and replaced

<key>JVMCapabilities</key>
<array>
<string>CommandLine</string>
</array>

with the following:

<key>JVMCapabilities</key>
<array>
<string>JNI</string>
<string>BundledApp</string>
<string>WebStart</string>
<string>Applets</string>
<string>CommandLine</string>
</array>
