There are many issues with the latest Oracle Java 7 update for Mac:

- Smart Client 7.1: crashes on open;
- Smart Client 6.0: Error on the DBTree bean;
- Smart Client 5.2: works correctly;

I suggest to NOT update.

I reverted to Java 6 using the following:

1. Open Terminal, located in the Utilities folder. (This can be found in the spotlight search in the top right-hand side of your screen)

2.Enter this command, then press the Return or Enter key  
sudo mkdir -p /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/disabled

1. Enter this command, then press the Return or Enter key:  
sudo mv /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/disabled

2. Enter this command, then press the Return or Enter key:  
sudo ln -sf /System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle/Contents/Resources/JavaPlugin2\_NPAPI.plugin /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin

3. To re-enable Java SE 6 Web Start, enter this command, then press the Return or Enter key:  
sudo ln -sf /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Commands/javaws /usr/bin/javaws

Hi Nicola,

Maybe you can create an issue in Jira.  
At ServoyWorld I spoke to Jan Blok about this and according to him there should be no issues running Java 7

Hi Nicola,

I have two Servoy Servoy 6.1.4 servers. Smart client 6.1.4 appears to be working fine on Java 7u25 on the Mac. I do not use the DBTree bean.
