Java 7 Mac Fix

[Magemagic230]

Would just like to offer could you please fix the problem with FTB not running on mac if you have java 7?
If you are already working on this thank you and sorry for wasting you time.
I know i could try downgrading java but i seem to be running into many problems.
Thank you for taking your time to read this.

This problem is unrelated to Feed The Beast. Minecraft uses a library called lwjgl, and they have not added Java 7 support on OS X. They are on it, but the progress is slow. For now, you need Java 6.

Ok thanks for telling me this.
Guess i'll just have to wait.
Although, would this affect minecraft vanilla as well?

 

[MindTooth]

Yes, it does. Affects all released versions of lwjgl. But I expect a release to occur within a reasonable time.

 

[Magemagic230]

It does?
I haven't seen any affects on mine craft.
I have played vanilla and it seems to be fine.

You can find an LWJGL update in this thread, which should fix it. http://lwjgl.org/forum/index.php/topic,4711.0.html

Could you please give me a direct link to the exact forum page?
Thanks for your help.

 

[TruculentMC]

Just start at the last page and go backwards, if I link to something direct it will get updated eventually and then won't be the latest version anymore...

What exactly am I looking for?
I'm not very good at this stuff.

Do you really want to be tinkering with this then?

Here is a link to the dev version of LWJGL that has Java 1.7 OSX fixes:

Note that it is not guaranteed to work, you use it at your own risk !

You can drop back to the 1.6 JVM from Apple even if you installed Oracle 1.7.

/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.6.0 --exec java -Xms512M -Xmx4G -jar FTB_Launcher.jar

@ TruculentMC
I am supposed to place the LWJGL files and the native files in the FTB modpack (Of my choices) bin and replace the other right?
If so sadly that didn't work. Thanks for trying to help though.
Would you possibly know of any other ways?

@ Geoff
I couldn't find that directory, but thanks.
