    With:
    java -version
    java version "1.7.0_67"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_67-b01)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.65-b04, mixed mode)

    I get:
    ./RSSOwl
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: You have loaded library /home/bnesbitt/Downloads/rssowl/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_1.1.100.v20110505/eclipse_1407.so which might have disabled stack guard. The VM will try to fix the stack guard now.
    It's highly recommended that you fix the library with 'execstack -c <libfile>', or link it with '-z noexecstack'.

    What's the status of RSSOwl under Java 7?

    Java 7 is supported. Java x64 isn't. More info here.

      On OS X I get this: "To open „RSSOwl.app“, you have to install the old Java SE 6-Runtime-Version" (freely translated) linking to this download: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572.

      So how do I get it to run with Java 7?

    Sorry, I'm really no Mac expert, but first, are you sure you have java 7 on your path? What does java -version returns?

    Also, were you ever able to run RSSOWl on your machine before, with java 6?

    java -version says this:
    java version "1.8.0_25"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b17)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode)

    It has been upgraded since this report was created and is now Java 8 which is also not working.
    I never used RSSOWL before. I tried, because I found it to be the best fit for me.

      In my case is with JRE 1.8_25, the fail is:

      RSSOwl was unable to create a browser for reading news. Please refer to the FAQ for further help.

      Click 'Ok' to open the FAQ now.

      I use Debian with AMD64 (x86_64)

      Not resolve. :(

      Any ideas?

        @sjlopezb: You case is probably unrelated to Java. Looks like a known xulreader hunspell issue. See this.

    Hello.

    I have a friend with a mac pc. Tried to change the default java used by RSSOwl but mac is so terribly dumb.

    There also seems to be a bug: sending command line args like "open -n ./RSSOwl.app --args -noSplash" as suggested by the FAQ does not work.

    I think bpasero, the main dev of rssowl is using mac now, so hopefully he reads this topic and will be more helpful.

    Also, can you post the error message you're getting? And log from ~/.rssowl/.metadata/log.

    I've got java 8 on my macbook pro with yosemite
    Last login: Thu Feb 12 13:44:04 on ttys000
    unsavorys-MacBook-Pro:~ unsavory$ java -version
    java version "1.8.0_31"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_31-b13)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.31-b07, mixed mode)

    When I launch rssowl 2.2.1 popup says To open "RSSOwl" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime
    When I click on more info, it goes to this URL
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572

    I haven't tried to download that version of java
    I read some other places on this forum that rssowl doesnt support 64bit java
    Has someone found a way to make it work?
    I haven't monkeyed with putting multiple versions of java on my system
    Thanks

    FYI, i just downloaded that version of java from apple and rssowl now works
    and java -version on the command line (newly opened terminal window) shows java 8 still installed
