Re: [idvusers] IDV 4.1 hangs on start in OSX 10.9.2 with Java SE 8

Yes. I would opt for latter. It comes with a self contained Java 7 for OSX and the new Java 3D, so won't interfere with your Java 8 install if you want to use that for other purposes.

Thanks Don/Julien, so I'll have to either install Java 6 or try a
preview of IDV 5.0 from the nightly builds.

        Paul,

        IDV < 5.0 only runs on Java 6. IDV 5.0 will run on Java 7.


    And you can get a (pretty stable) preview of IDV 5.0 by downloading
    and installing the nightly build.

            Hi IDV'ers,

            I notice that upon a fresh install of IDV 4.1 in OSX 10.9.2
            with Java
            SE 8,
            I get the following error, which seems to be to do with the
