Answer 1

To configure Eclipse to use another VM use this command line:

eclipse -vm <path to java>

You can also specify the path in Eclipse.app/Contents/Info.plist. There is a section like this:

<!-- to use a specific Java version (instead of the platform's default) uncomment one of the following options:
    <string>-vm</string><string>/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Commands/java</string>
    <string>-vm</string><string>/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Commands/java</string>
-->

For the Memory Analyzer the you can find the Info.plist file under MemoryAnalyzer.app/Contents.

Answer 2

The official Java 6 for the Mac only has a 64 bit data model. Unfortunately, Eclipse uses Carbon on the Mac which is only available in 32 bits. In short, it is impossible to run Eclipse with the official Java 6 distribution.

The classical solution to this is to set the default VM to Java 5, and then choose Java 6 as the JRE/JDK within Eclipse.

If you really need to run Eclipse with Java 6, then you could take a look at SoyLatte which is a build of OpenJDK which both supports 32 and 64 bit modes.

java - Delete temporary files created by acessing zip entries before the JVM terminates

I am working on a web application which envolves unzipping lots of files. This leads to a lot of zip entries being read and a lot of files being created in the system's temporary directory (the one that you obtain from the system property 'java.io.tmpdir'). This is normally not an issue since these files (being temporary) are correctly deleted when the JVM terminates. The problem arises when the server in which the...
