I'm a Java developer and my Eclipse doesn't recognize my environment variables anymore. There is some new way to set it? I was using the ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist
Thanks in advance.
MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), OS X Mountain Lion
Hi there,
didn't know environment.plist did exist, I'm setting my environment variables in a .profile in my home (~) folder.
What I do to enable global environment variables to be accessed by other applications like Eclispe is:
Open terminal and type:
launchctl setenv VARIABLE_NAME_TO_SET $EXISTING_VARIABLE_NAME
If you don't have the existing environment variables, you can simply give the absolute path of the environment variable
hope this helps...
Btw, I develop using 1.5 and I'm unable to get it to compile under 10.8, any thoughts?
I posted a new thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4150705
I got the info from this: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#qa/qa1067/_index.html, that I've found a little time ago, but I was on 10.7.
I didn't found the link, but I've read that this plist doesn't work anymore on 10.8.
As for your problem, I'm not sure, I'm currently using 1.6/1.7.
I didn't try your solution yet, as soon as I do I'll edit this and reply. Thanks anyways.
How do I set the global environment variables on Mountain Lion?
