Mac version of Room EQ Wizard

[genesis471]

Anyone get this to work under OSX? I have tried to launch it using Java as suggested, also tried to launch it in the Terminal as the help menu suggests but neither do the trick.
Doesn't seem to be very much support for the Mac version at the REW link either.

Thank you,

Mike

Here's a bit more info for Mac users:

On Mac OS X platforms it may be necessary to download Java 2 SE V5.0 to get the V5.0 JRE. See this knowledgebase article for more: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302412. At the time of writing this text Release 3 was the latest available, but Release 4 was entering beta. Check http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ for the latest J2SE release.

It is also necessary to change the default Java application JRE version from 1.4.2 to 5.0, otherwise an error like this will result:

% java -jar RoomEQ_Wizard_obf.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError:
roomeqwizard/RoomEQ_Wizard (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0)

To do that:

1. Open the Java Preferences application in /Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE 5.0/
   
2. In the "Java Application Runtime Settings" panel, drag J2SE 5.0 to the top of the list (above J2SE 1.4.2)
   
3. Click Save

In the meantime Apple have released Release 4 of the J2SE and this release also sets the V5.0 JRE to be the default, so the extra steps above are not needed. To get Release 4 go to http://www.apple.com/support/downloa...ase4intel.html

Thanks so much for the info! I did the software update today.
However, but still how do I run the program? Thru Terminal, or??? How do I launch it.

Double checked everything and trying to run it in Terminal this is the message I get:

Unable to access jarfile RoomEQ_Wizard_obf.jar

this is key to make it work. you need to change the list AND the default setting in the 'java preferences' that come woth J2SE 5.0. somehow i needed to do it more than once, but after that i can open the applet by double-clicking on REW.

also there is a J2SE 5.0 release 4 now available here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloa...lease4ppc.html

other than the internal soundcard are not recognized (tried pci and FW-interfaces) and to recognize it you need to change the sample-rate to 44.1 in the soundcard menue of REW. after that you can choose in the apropriate 'in and out' pull-down-menu.

what still is a little annoying is that you cannot save your own default settings. everytime i re-open REW i need to adjust all those settings to get started....

Ahh yes! Thank you so much seedee... works now!
Yesterday I had done the update, but tried to launch it thru the Terminal. I didn't bother to try to launch it by clicking on the jar file until you mentioned it in your post.
Now I can play! :-)

Thanks from another Mac user!
