Hi there,

i’m on a Mac with 10.8.4 and the latest Oracle Java 7 (1.7.0\_51) installed.  
When i’m launching Servoy 7.3.1 and start the Debug Smart Client it always starts with Java 1.6.0\_51.  
When i use my browser to start a Smart Client Solution over jnlp, the system uses Java 7.

How can i set Java 7 also in my Servoy Developer / Debug Smart Client?

Thanks a lot!  
Alex

i tried to edit servoy.ini and Info.plist in the servoy Package, but the Debug Smart Client always uses Java 1.6.0\_51 ![:(]( "Sad")

Google is your friend: ‘wiki’ + ‘servoy’ + ‘mac’ + ‘java7’

finds this: [https://wiki.servoy.com/display/public/ … ifications](https://wiki.servoy.com/display/public/DOCS/Post-Installation+Modifications)

Thank you very much Mark!  
I already visited the Servoy Wiki, but i couldn’t found this wiki page you posted.
