Hi *,

since I need to run fiji using a JDK>1.6 I do usually start it from terminal using:
/Applications/Fiji.app/Contents/MacOS/ImageJ-macosx --java-home /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_71.jdk/Contents/Home/‘

For some obscure reason this seems not to work any longer.
A few things I noticed and might help some of you to help me:

If I start fiji by double clicking Fiji.app in /Applications… everything works just fine!
Strangely enough, also this would start fiji just fine:
export JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_6_HOME
/Applications/Fiji.app/Contents/MacOS/ImageJ-macosx
But directly after calling the following two lines will make fiji hang again:
export JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_7_HOME
/Applications/Fiji.app/Contents/MacOS/ImageJ-macosx
Same is true by switching to 1.8.

This means that I am currently not able to run fiji, except I comply to Java 1.6.

Any ideas for how to fix this VERY welcome and desperately needed!

Cheers,
Florian

PS@Curtis: thanks for yesterdays help!
