TizenIDE won't launch on Mac

I'm trying to install and run the Tizen SDK/IDE on my Mavericks Mac.

I ran into many issues trying to install but was eventually able to run the installation by following this thread: SDK 2.2 installer for Mac broken? at https://developer.tizen.org/forums/sdk-ide/solved%C2%A0sdk-2.2-installer-mac-broken

Now the TizenIDE application is installed, but when I try to run it, I immediately get an alert saying "Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine" and cannot continue. Any ideas how I can get the IDE to work? Thanks.

 

Some additional info:

Mac OS Version: OS X 10.9.2

java version "1.7.0_51"

Hello,

Refer following article:

Eventually I was able to successfully install and run the Tizen Wearable SDK on Mac Mavericks.

When I tried to install by simply double-clicking inst-manager, nothing happened. Thanks to this article (https://developer.tizen.org/forums/sdk-ide/solved%C2%A0sdk-2.2-installer-mac-broken) I found steps to fix that:

- Open the tizen-wearable-sdk-2.2.150_macos64.dmg file, which will mount a volume with the file inst-manager

- Right click inst-manager and click Show Package Contents; drill into the files to find Resources/Java/InstallManager.jar

- Navigate to this location in Terminal; my location was in Volumes/inst-manager/inst-manager.app/Contents/Resources/Java/

- execute: java -XstartOnFirstThread -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts -jar InstallManager.jar

- when installer pops up, click advanced, and then select SDK Image, then browse to find the zip of the sdk image (you can download the sdk image file from the Tizen site)

After I installed, when I tried to open the IDE application, it reported "Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine." This was how I got it to work, though there might be a better way:

- I referenced this article (thanks AVSukhov), which was helpful but didn't work by itself: http://ameijer.nl/2011/07/eclipse-failed-to-create-the-java-virtual-machine-fix/

- I did, however, use that link to install Java 6

- Thinking that Tizen didn't like Java 7 and that Java 7 was getting in the way of Java 6, I uninstalled the Java 7 JDK: I went to Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines in the Terminal and executed: sudo rm -rf jdk1.7.0_51.jdk

- The IDE worked!
