How do I edit an application?

I'm experimenting with an Arduino board and have encountered a problem. Here is a response I got from someone regading my problem:


the suggested workaround is to delve into your Arduino.app, edit the file Arduino.app/Contents/Info.plist, and change:

Code:

<key>JVMVersion</key>

<string>1.5*</string>

to

Code:

<key>JVMVersion</key>

<string>1.6*</string>


I've never edited an OS X application before. What tool should I use?

Arduino.app/Contents/Info.plist


First you got to find it.


Right click on Arduino.app pick "show package contents".


Application are made up of a bunch of folders.


Double click on Contents.


Double click on Info.plist. This brings up the plist editor.


If not or you do not like the plist editor, Download textwrangler.

Place textwrangler on the dock. drag Info.plist to the textwrangle icon. Edit.
