=Snow Leopard Java problems (and fix)=
'''Update: OneSwarm 0.6.7 is now available and fixes most Snow Leopard compatibility issues. Download [ here]'''
The [ OneSwarm] annonymous filesharing client version 0.6.5 does not run properly on Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" because of compatibility issues between the 64 bit Java 6 VM and SWT, symptoms are:
*Connections will never handshake completely because packets sent by the user running 10.6 will not reach the network interface (except the initial ~20 byte handshake packet). Probable cause: not receiving write selects (?). '''Workaround below'''
*When double clicking on a torrent a window will pop up saying "file could not be opened".
*In the classic ui: Preferences will not show the values of the actual preferences, clicking in the box will cause the value to be shown.
==Workaround for connection problem==
In the terminal:
Get the java 5 that was included in 10.5 "leopard" and unpack
cd /tmp/
curl -o java.1.5.0-leopard.tar.gz
tar -xvzf java.1.5.0-leopard.tar.gz
Move it to your System java folder (password needed)
sudo mv 1.5.0 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0-leopard
Tell OS X that java 5 actually is java 5
cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/
sudo rm 1.5.0
sudo ln -s 1.5.0-leopard 1.5.0
sudo rm 1.5
sudo ln -s 1.5.0 1.5
Open Java Preferences
open "/Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app"
Change the properties to use Java 5 32-bit by default:

Done!
==Also fixes==
This workaround fixes issues in other apps as well,
*Enables Google Web Toolkit (GWT) hosted mode (fixes the "can not run on OS X with Java 6 bug")
*Azureus (Vuze) download issue described here:
Fonality's HUD3 works after running these steps.
*Zend Studio versions 5.*: fixes problems with disappearing text while selecting.
===Java 1.4===
In case your system depended on java 1.4: Here is how to get Java 1.4 running on snow leopard.
cd /tmp/
curl -o java.1.4.2-leopard.tar.gz
tar -xvzf java.1.4.2-leopard.tar.gz
sudo mv 1.4.2 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2-leopard
cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/
sudo ln -s 1.4.2-leopard 1.4.2
sudo ln -s 1.4.2 1.4
open "/Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app"
