I previously had an eclipse rcp app based on eclipse 3.3 pugins deployed on both windows and mac OS X 10.4. i'm now trying to port the app to java 1.6 and eclipse 3.5 (Build id: 20100218-1602) plugins on Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard).

I can launch the product from eclipse 3.5 on windows but not on Mac OS X. I have the 64bit cocoa eclipse IDE and java 6. In the launch configuration I set runtime JRE to JVM 1.6.0 and added required plugins. The plugins validate and everything else looks similar to windows configuration where it works, but when I launch i only get the following two lines in the console:

2010-03-16 13:29:32.742 java[758:10b] [Java CocoaComponent compatibility mode]: Enabled
2010-03-16 13:29:32.744 java[758:10b] [Java CocoaComponent compatibility mode]: Setting timeout for SWT to 0.100000

and then the program appears to just hang indefinitely. There is nothing written to the .log file so I'm not sure what error there is.

EDIT: Here's what Yourkit profiling says before all cpu activity stops.

and here's more details on the ClassNotFoundExceptions mentioned above:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
Start Level Event Dispatcher native ID: 0x8B0B group: 'main'      78
Thread-4 native ID: 0x10B group: 'main'                           22
Framework Event Dispatcher native ID: 0xD207 group: 'main'         2

Anyone know why I don't see a trace for this in Eclipse or in any log files? any ideas where I should look?
