Well, I made it a little easier to use an alternate Java. If you define an environment variable called SPINE_JAVA, it will use that when Spine.app is run. To use the system Java, you'd set it to "java" (without quotes). Eg, from the command line...

export SPINE_JAVA=java
open Spine.app

There are various ways to set environment variables in OS X:

You can use the RCEnvironment tool if you want a GUI for doing it:

Thanks Nate. That's a cleaner solution, and one that I'm happy with.

Sorry Nate - I've added the environment variable (using the GUI tool you linked to), but I'm still getting the X11 prompt. I've rebooted, just to be sure the variable was active.

I'm running Spine v1.1.0.7, in OSX 10.8.2.

Any ideas?

Hmm. If you open the Console app, do you see a message from Spine when it starts? It should say "Spine: Using Java: xxx" where xxx is the SPINE_JAVA you set. What happens if you try:

export SPINE_JAVA=java
open /Applications/Spine.app

If that doesn't work, then I don't think you have the latest Spine launcher, you should download it again. If that works then it means however you are launching Spine isn't seeing your environment variable. I've read that launching via Spotlight may not see your variable:

I'm definitely running the latest build (I just re-installed to be sure).

Even when I run those commands, I'm still presented with the X11 prompt. Weird.

I can see the SPINE_JAVA entry in my exports:

...
declare -x SHELL="/bin/bash"
declare -x SHLVL="1"
declare -x SPINE_JAVA="java"
declare -x SSH_AUTH_SOCK="/tmp/launch-65LXli/Listeners"
declare -x TERM="xterm-256color"
...

If you just want to get it working, you can right click Spine.app, Show Package Contents, expand Contents/MacOS, and edit run.sh with TextEdit. Where it says:

"$SPINE_JAVA" \

Check that to:

java \

I didn't understand what you meant by "console". Are you referring to terminal? If so, I don't see that text, no.

By Console app I mean an app that comes with OSX called Console. You can find it by clicking Spotlight (the magnifying glass in the upper right of the screen) and typing console.

However, I found a problem in another thread... the builds I've been pushing don't actually have the changes they should. If you could please download the launcher again, I think you'll find it works. Sorry about this mess! :bang:

Well, at least my Spine stuff is doing the right thing. Your logs show that it's using "Java 1.6.0_43 Apple Inc.". That is your system Java installation, not the Java bundled with Spine (which would say "OpenJDK unofficial"), so it is using the environment variable. Nothing in Spine shows that X11 popup, and you aren't using the Java bundled with Spine so I guess even the Apple Java is requiring X11, doesn't look like there is a way around it. I know you said that Spine used to run without X11, but I'm not sure how that is possible. Maybe you did a system update and Apple changed things? Maybe you started using a different system Java? You can choose which system Java to use by opening Java Preferences (use Spotlight, the magnifiying glass in the upper right of the screen, to find it).

Apple no longer maintains Java for OSX. In a recent update, Apple has removed Java 6 (formerly maintained by Apple) and replaced it with Java 7 (maintained by OpenJDK).
