Mac Immediate Crash on Launch

[christophocles]

I'm running the most recent FTB Beta launcher on a 10.8.2 Mac with Java 7 update 9. Trying to run minecraft through the launcher seems to run properly until it's actually time for minecraft to run. It loads a black screen, then crashes immediately. No error window pops up.

Here's the forge log.

I need to second this issue on the 1.0 launcher.

Running Oracle's released 1.7 update 9Java version, latest update MacOSX.
Minecraft without mods runs without a hitch, no problems then.

 

[Matt Campbell]

Yeah I also have the same issue

 

[christophocles]

When I started this post the launcher was on beta .33, but it's still present in 1.0.1.

I'm able to run modded minecraft myself, but not through the FTB launcher.

 

[christophocles]

Following these steps and downgrading from Java 7 to the stock Java 6 fixed the issue for me!

Same here, unfortunately... Shouldn't be the solution, but it also looks like it's a little bigger than just FTB, or Minecraft, when Apple posts such an explanation.
