Eclipse on MacOS

By default, runtime instances of Eclipse will start with large fonts. To get rid of this behaviour, just add -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts to the VM arguments of the respective launch configuration.

I guess it might be a good idea if PDE UI could transparently add this parameter to Eclipse launch configurations - I opened a bug to get this fixed.

Thanks for reading this post. You should follow me on twitter here

@abstratt why bother to convince them to use MDD when we can have all the fun being productive and have a competitive edge? 4 hrs ago
@abstratt ah, a classic argument. I'm slowly getting tired of all the "modeling totally sucks" zealots. in reply to abstratt 4 hrs ago

@IanSkerrett @caniszczyk yes, building evangelist programs for the emerging areas of Eclipse sounds like a good plan. in reply to IanSkerrett 13 hrs ago
@mmilinkov maybe @waynebeaton could scale better by tapping the resources of the ecosystem (i.e. build an Eclipse Evangelist Network)? in reply to mmilinkov 14 hrs ago
@mmilinkov you're taking the words out of my mouth ;-) You need more than one guy. Eclipse IP's got more than one gal, too ;-) in reply to mmilinkov 14 hrs ago
@mmilinkov I agree, OSS leaders have highest credibility. However, I think @waynebeaton did a great job at promoting Eclipse as a whole! in reply to mmilinkov 14 hrs ago
