When I launch our RCP-based application on Mac OS X using Eclipse/PDE, it starts as expected. When trying to start with IDEA/Osmorc, no window occurs, just an icon shows up in the task bar. I've compared the debug logs and Eclipse seems to add more Equinox parameters.

Most likely the missing parameters are "-os macosx -ws carbon -arch x86" or something like that. As a workaround adding them in the run configuration in "Additional Equinox parameters" should do the trick. Those parameters are currently not added automatically because they seem not to be needed on Windows. Apparently they are needed on Mac OS X and probably on any other Unix system.

Also make sure that you use the same Equinox installation as the target platform in Eclipse and framework instance in Osmorc. Trying to run an Equinox with Windows specific libraries will obviously never work on Mac OS X.

Jan found out that adding "-XstartOnFirstThread" as a JVM parameter, fixes the problem.
We'll add a warning or something like that to include this option on a Mac.

Added a warning in the run configuration for equinox, when the current OS is MacOS and the said JVM-Argument is not set.
