Hi<br />
I've installed Java Eclipse on a few machines, but I have just acquired my mom's old Os X MacBook Pro<br />
It is only 2 GHz Os X 10.5.8<br />
And eclipse install is giving me trouble!<br />
All the resulting .app files have a crossed out circle icon. and say &quot;You cant open the application Eclipse 2.app because it is not supported by this architecture.&quot;<br />
the file I used was<br />
<br />
eclipse-java-mars-2-macosx<wbr />-cocoa-x86<wbr />_64.tar.gz<wbr /><br />
<br />
Any suggestions?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Eclipse Java installation problems!

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.
