X causes a deprecation warning whenever building on osx

o instead of "show sketch folder" method, use:

The com.apple.eio.FileManager now has two new desktop interaction methods, revealInFinder(File) and moveToTrash(File). You can use revealInFinder() to open a Finder window in the parent directory of of a file and select it. You can use moveToTrash() to move a file to the most appropriate Trash directory for the volume that contains that file.

X add warning message about using serial on OS X

_ check on other serial issues, this may fix them

cleaning

o switching into present mode in info.plist

o <key>LSUIPresentationMode</key>

o <integer>4</integer>

o errors with serial and libraries

Exception in thread "Thread-2" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

processing/core/PApplet

at processing.serial.Serial.<init>(Serial.java:156)

generally, that error means that something is missing from the

CLASSPATH. the NoClassDefError gives erroneous feedback about *what*

class is actually missing, as of java 1.3+ (yay!)

so perhaps conflicting versions of a library in the sketchbook (solve

this by setting to an empty sketchbook temporarily) or files might be

installed in the CLASSPATH variable or something conflicting in

/System/Library/Extensions.

X the word from Apple on Info.plist setup

X DO NOT USE "JVMArchs". It is deprecated, and manually overrides the natural architecture launching and ordering that LaunchServices does, including accommodating the 32-bit checkbox in the Get Info window.

_ also MIN_INT and MAX_INT, even though those are more similar

_ update the reference to cover parseXxxx() stuff

all i can do is find things that might trigger them, but it's more likely

than not to be a java problem, and not something that can be fixed

_ explanation of how we see libraries in the PDE

_ We're making an assumption that the idea of a "library" refers to a block of Java-based code. The reasoning is that from within the PDE, we anticipate that it will be Java-compatible versions of other languages (such as Jython, JRuby, or Scala) as opposed to more generic languages. In the future we could open this up, but we'd rather not complicate things for the moment.

LIBRARIES / Serial

_ check on 64-bit RXTX libraries in the Arduino downloads

_ serial still causing problems on OS X

_ http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=52

_ serial ports missing from list

_ Serial.write problem with Bluetooth SPP virtual serial port

DIST / Mac OS X

_ look into LCD rendering problems w/ Java (see if Lion still a problem)

_ fonts were showing up with very different fatness

_ check on new JDK and how it works on OS X

_ http://jdk7.java.net/macportpreview/

_ very slow startup on OS X (library manager et al?)
