I got maverick...and tried java 7 with LWJGL 2.9.0 and i got like 7 fps..i rolled it back to java 6 ..probably gonna dump this mac pro anyway since the mac's are not game friendly
actually im specifically talking about the new mac pro's that were just announced..the video cards are workstation cards not for gaming..so hence the unfriendlyFixed it for you.

Define "nicely".
I don't have any prior releases of Java installed on my system. 2.1ghz dualcore, Mobility Radeon HD 4650, 4gb of RAM (system total, no custom allocations), 32bit OS, graphics set to fancy+far. Quite playable for me with the framerate hovering between 10-20FPS.
What I mean is does it work. There was a time in the not to distant past that FTb launcher quite working and the problem if I recall correctly had in part to do with Java 7. I ended up having to remove it and go back to an older version of it in order to get the launcher to work.
as for the MAC not working or working for gaming, mine does just fine. I am running unleashed with optifine and I get great FPS, it is a non issue. The thing is I was looking at trying Resonant Rise and it looks like i need to update to Java 7 in order to do that and it scares me cause I dont want to screw up a good thing if you know what I mean.
And I'm saying Mac's aren't meant for gaming at all.
Not always true. Some of the stuff is fairly good, and sometimes have about the same specs or higher as normal PCs. The more expensive ones of course, but in my opinion it's worth it to spend more to get more.And I'm saying Mac's aren't meant for gaming at all.
That whole thing isn't an FTB problem. It's a problem with Java, LWJGL and forge. Predominantly Java and the way Apple re-wrote it to work with MacOS.
OK, so I will re-ask the question in a way that maybe someone here can answer.... I am running a MAC that when I upgraded to JAva 7, it made my minecraft not work at all. I would like to play ResonantRise pack, but I am being told that I need to upgrade to Java 7 and I am hesitant to do that because I am having great success with my machine and FTB right now. So if there is any chance this may ruin my experience, then I will just wait.
Thanks
You have to update LWJGL to 2.9
Can you point me in the direction to update this correctly?
I appreciate all the help you guys have thus far given me. It is always a nice feeling to know you can come to a community and get help when you have an issue.
Thanks.

You should replace these files in minecraft/bin/natives/
- libjinput-osx.jnilib
- liblwjgl.jnilib
- openal.dylib
- libopenal.dylib
- For this one, create a copy of openal.dylib, then rename it to libopenal.dylib
You'll have to do it eventually...This reminds me: Oracle got hacked a few months ago, so I haven't downloaded a new version of java since then. I guess its safe now?
