Thanks, I appreciate the lack of Java 6 support on the PowerPC.
But is Java 6 required for VASSAL? It worked fine until 3.2.11 – what changed in 3.2.12/13 and did that change make Java 6 required?
Cheers,
Martin

Java 6 is not required for VASSAL. What changed in 3.2.11 was the order
in which we check for different versions of Java on Macs. We prefer Java
6 to Java 5, and we assume that any JVM we find is functional. In your
case, you have a Java 6 JVM installed which was built for a different
CPU than the one in your computer, which is why it won’t run.
The solution is to remove that non-functioning version of Java 6.

Wonderful, thanks, Joel!
I removed the Java 1.6.0 VM and the 3.2.14 pre-release runs smoothly.
I wonder how that version of Java got there in the first place…
Again, thanks for your patience and support.
Cheers,
Martin
I just updated to Yosemite and my existing version of VASSAL would not launch. I upgraded to 3.2.14 and now it will launch. However, 3.2.14 will launch, but scrolling around a large map like Where Eagles Dare is quite choppy. Also dragging counters around is suffering. For instance, when I click and drag a counter I don’t see the ghost of the counter move with my pointer.
Someone over at BGG asked me to post this here so it can be diagnosed.
The first thing you need to do is determine your Java version, then report back here. Launch VASSAL, then in the Help menu, choose “Show Error Log”.

See this thread:
Some Vassal modules not working properly with OS X Yosemite
The short answer is: Use Java 6 on Yosemite until Oracle fixes their
bug.

I can’t get anything past 3.2.11 to run on my ppc 10.5.8 either. How do I find out if I need to remove java 6 and how do I do it?

I’d first check what JRE is on your path. Do this in a terminal:
java -version
What’s the output?

There’s a JavaVM directory listed in the output above. I wanted you to
to list the contents of that, but actually I think the one we need is
Commands instead:
