Hello,

It seems there are problems running Syncro SVN Client with Apple's JVM 1.6 that comes with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). This JVM version from Apple is not supported yet as it was not publicly available before and we did not test it. It will be supported after we test Syncro SVN Client with it and fix any errors. Until we do that you should run the SVN client with Apple's JVM 1.5 by changing the value of the key JVMVersion from 1.5+ to 1.5* in the file Info.plist of the Syncro SVN Client application. You edit that file with Control + click on the Syncro SVN Client icon, select Show Package Contents from the popup menu and open the Contents folder.


Regards,
Sorin

An update: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) was shipped with the Apple's Java 1.5 virtual machine. Apple's Java virtual machine 1.6 was released before Leopard and it works on OS X 10.4 (Tiger) but if it is installed on Leopard it crashes with a segmentation fault at startup. This is why there is no official commitment for Java 1.6 on Leopard from Apple and why the Apple folks decided to ship Leopard with their older JVM, that is Apple's JVM 1.5. That means Syncro SVN Client runs without problems on Leopard.
