Hi,

You haven't mentioned the version of Oxygen, so I'm assuming it's the current version, v16.0.
We generally do not recommend changing the bundled/recommended JRE unless you have a very good reason (e.g. serious bugs or crashes with that JRE).
Is there a particular reason why you want to run Oxygen with Java 7?

The instructions you found on the forum do not apply to OS X. They are for Linux and Windows distributions.
The OS X .zip distribution of Oxygen requires Java SE 6 (from Apple). There is no way to configure the .app to recognize Java 7 or later (from Oracle).

There is also a .tar.gz distribution for OS X that bundles Java SE 8u5. You can download that here:

If for some reason you want to use Java 7 instead of 8, although we do not recommend this, in this distribution you can replace the JRE found in 'oxygen/.install4j/jre.bundle'.
Note that this does not work the same as Linux and Windows, so if you simply remove that folder, Oxygen will no longer start.
You will have to either copy your Java 7 JRE ('Contents' folder) to that folder ('jre.bundle'), or create a symbolic link that points to your Java 7 JRE installation folder.

I tried to follow this explanation to change the Java VM

http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/topic7033.html#p22000

to set oxygen to work with Java version 7. But I don’t have an JRE directoy in my oxygen installation (version 16). I am using Mac os X 10.9.2. The Mac Java control panel tells me that I have only Java versions 1.7.0_60 in the mac os, but the oxygen info via
"Help > About, System properties, „java.runtime.version“"
says that oxygen is using java1.6.

The oxygen java.library.path system property has the value

/Applications/oxygen/Oxygen XML Editor.app/Contents/Resources/Java:/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/JavaApplicationLauncher.framework/Resources:.:/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/Extensions:/usr/lib/java

so maybe I need to change something in the Oxygen XML Editor.app so that oxygen uses java 7. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Felix
