Hey there,
i’m experiencing problems while trying to run the A12 Toolset on OSX Mojave.
I already tried the “workarounds” to get it running but they only seem to work using older (e.g. High Sierra) OSX.
Using these workarounds the tools may start but freeze immediately and make it impossible to do any action.
Is this already known / maybe already a fix ?
I especially tried it with the Toolset version 21.3.0 but tried other ones aswell.
Hi Stefan,
the tools in the mentioned version use an eclipse rcp framework version prior to 4.8, which has a bug, that prevents tools built with it from runnning with a java runtime newer than 1.8_151. This java runtime version is only available via an oracle developer account. But I also provide a copy from my mgm box under following link: <INTERNAL_LINK>. It’s the jdk. I cannot guarantee, that this link will work forever.
After installing the jdk, you need to point to this version in the tools’ ini files, e.g. UI Designer.app/Contents/Eclipse/UI Designer.ini. At the top add the following two lines (same goes for the Data Modeler):
-vm
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_151.jdk/Contents/Home/bin
Furthermore, since macOS 10.12 Sierra, there is a gatekeeper security feature, that runs app bundles, which were extracted from an downloaded archive, in a sandbox, until the user moves them with the Finder away from the place of extraction.
Our tools don’t work in this sandbox, so you need to make sure to move them at least once with Finder to some other directory after extracting the zip.
I hope this helps you 
P.S. We don’t support the tools for macOS officially yet. Once we do, I hope that we can provide a better installing experience, e.g. via a familiar dmg image and out of the box startup.
Thanks a lot, worked like a charm
